# EXAMPLE: DIRECTOR RESIGNATION LETTER

Date: 22 June 2028

From: Sophie Hart

To: Asterfield Robotics Limited

## 1. Facts

To the Board of Asterfield Robotics Limited, 2 Foundry Lane, Cambridge CB4 0WS, from Sophie Hart, Non-Executive Director, dated 22 June 2028.

## 2. Decision

I resign as a director of Asterfield with effect from 31 July 2028, after the board meeting scheduled for 30 July. I am not resigning as an employee or consultant under any separate agreement.

## 3. Reasons

The decision follows my relocation to Edinburgh and the resulting inability to attend the quarterly laboratory safety and audit meetings in person. It is not caused by a dispute with the board or a disagreement about the company's accounts.

## 4. Process and rights

Before the effective date I will deliver the Falcon audit papers, disclose any conflict concerning Northbridge University and complete the handover to incoming director Maya Ellison. I will not approve decisions after the effective date.

## 5. Records and continuing matters

The company should update its statutory register and file the director termination at Companies House within the prescribed period, then confirm the filing reference. Please send final board papers and any indemnity information to my new address.

## 6. Closing

My duties concerning confidential information, company property, intellectual property, records and cooperation with investigations continue after resignation. I will return the board tablet and security token on 31 July.

## 7. Acknowledgement

Please acknowledge this notice and place it with the board minutes. I reserve all accrued contractual rights and will cooperate with a lawful request for a resignation statement. Yours faithfully, Sophie Hart; signature: ____________________.
