Can a shareholder be given the right to appoint or remove a director?

Specific provisions for how directors are appointed and removed may be found in the Articles of Association or Shareholders Agreement. These can provide that appointment and/or removal requires approval by the shareholders, by the other directors or that one or more shareholders has the right to appoint and/or remove one or more directors. They might also specify a minimum or a maximum number of directors.
