In the event that all directors of a public limited company resign, the company will be in breach of the Companies Act 2006, which requires at least two directors. This breach can lead to the company being struck off the register and dissolved. The company's assets, including cash, property, and equipment, will not be returned to the shareholders but will become the Crown's property under the legal principle of Bona Vacantia. Shareholders may have the option to appoint new directors through a general meeting or by applying to the Court if they lack the authority to do so. It is crucial for the company to address this situation promptly to avoid severe legal consequences.
