IV. STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION AND FILING GUIDE

1. Document Customization: Replace all bracketed text [...] with specific factual data. Ensure the "Governing Jurisdiction" matches the state of incorporation.
2. Verification of Authority: Confirm that the signatory for the Company possesses the delegated authority to sign under the corporate bylaws (typically the Chairperson or Corporate Secretary).
3. Corporate Ledger Update: Immediately upon execution, update the Company’s "Cap Table" and "Stock Ledger." Failure to update the ledger can result in the transfer being deemed legally incomplete.
4. Digital Execution: Utilize a high-assurance digital signature platform (e.g., DocuSign or Adobe Sign). Ensure "Audit Trail" logs are enabled to track the IP address and identity verification of each signatory.
5. Record Retention: Maintain the executed copy of this resolution in the Corporate Minute Book. It is recommended to keep both digital backups and a hard-copy original for a minimum of seven (7) years following the transfer.
6. Notification: Issue a formal "Notice of Transfer" to all stakeholders if required by the Shareholders’ Agreement.
