English to Polish Law/Patents Law (general)

Now therefore, be it resolved, that xx, xx and xx are hereby elected as directors of the corporation, to serve until the next in lieu of annual meeting earlier of the stockholder or until the earlier of their respective resignations or removals or until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified

o co tu chodzi?
wczesniej jest mowa o resolution in lieu of the annual meaning wiec nie odbywaja zgromadzenia tylko zamiast tego przyjmuja uchwalę, ale co z tym earlier of the stockholder???
