Hi

No, it is mandatory provision of Article of Associations of the company. I think please check your company's articles it will given.

You can not appoint addition director without articles approval.

The Board of directors of a company does not have the power to appoint an additional director unless it is conferred by the articles.

If the articles do not contain such provisions, the articles need to be altered to insert therein a regulation before the Board of Directors makes any such appointment.

In your case appointment is not valid. What you can do is, alter the articles back dated (i.e date before the appointment of additional director)
