Board Resolution for Execution of Indemnity Bond (Format)

The approval of the board of directors of a company is very much necessary for an officer before executing any indemnity bond on behalf of the company.

In the absence of the board's approval, if an officer signs an indemnity bond on behalf of the company in relation to any agreement or a deal or otherwise with organisation(s) or individual(s) and if any loss or damage occurs in that matter requiring the company to make good of any claims to the party in concern, then the authority of that officer to give such indemnity bond may become questionable and that officer may face legal action in this connection.

Hence, only with the authority of a board resolution, an official should execute one or more indemnity bonds on behalf of the company.
