A nominee director is a person appointed by a company to act as a director on behalf of another person or entity, known as the appointer. The nominee director may be used for a variety of reasons, such as maintaining anonymity or confidentiality of the appointer, or fulfilling certain legal requirements for company registration or compliance.

If a person or entity wishes to use a nominee director, they typically enter into a nominee agreement with the nominee director, which outlines the terms of the arrangement and the rights and responsibilities of each party. The nominee agreement may include provisions related to the duration of the arrangement, the transfer of directorship, and the payment of fees for the services of the nominee director.

If a nominee director is used for a period of one year, it is important to ensure that the arrangement is properly documented and that the nominee director is authorized to act on behalf of the appointer during that time. The nominee director may be required to attend board meetings, sign legal documents, and perform other duties and responsibilities as a director of the company.

At the end of the one-year period, the appointer may choose to continue the arrangement with the nominee director, appoint a new director, or take other actions related to the governance of the company. It is important to ensure that any changes to the directorship are properly documented and comply with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
