IV. STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION & FILING GUIDE

1. Preparation: Open this document in your preferred word processor. Use the "Find and Replace" function to populate all bracketed fields [ ] with specific entity data.
2. Verification: Cross-reference the proposed share increase against your company’s Articles of Incorporation to ensure the increase does not violate existing classes of stock or shareholder rights (e.g., anti-dilution provisions).
3. Board Meeting Minutes: This resolution must be attached as an exhibit to the official "Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors." Ensure the quorum requirements defined in your Bylaws are met before the vote.
4. Digital Execution: For remote board members, utilize DocuSign or Adobe Sign. Ensure the signing order is set to the Chairperson first, followed by the Secretary.
