A person who calls a board of directors meeting must dispatch the notice thereof to each director (or, for a company with company auditor, to each director and each company auditor) no later than one week (or if a shorter period of time is prescribed in the articles of incorporation, that period of time) prior to the day of the board of directors meeting.
取締役会を招集する者は、取締役会の日の一週間(これを下回る期間を定款で定めた場合にあっては、その期間)前までに、各取締役(監査役設置会社にあっては、各取締役及び各監査役)に対してその通知を発しなければならない。
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the board of directors meeting may be held without the procedures of calling if the consent of all directors (or, for a company with company auditor, directors and company auditors) is obtained.
