Re: director shares
You should look at the Articles of Association of the Company as these will set out when and how directors have to retire or may be removed. If there is a Shareholder's Agreement this may also Contain provisions about how a director can be removed. Otherwise a shareholder majority vote is generally require to remove a director. If a director is also employed by the Company any removal of him from the board does not affect his employment.
