When do you need to amend the MOA or AOA?
The memorandum of association (MOA) sets out what the company may do – its objects. The articles of association (AOA) set out how it is run – share transfers, board powers, meetings. Typical reasons to amend them:
- Starting a business activity not covered by the objects clause.
- Adding investor rights or ESOP provisions to the articles.
- Removing outdated restrictions or aligning with a shareholders’ agreement.
The process
- Board meeting approving the proposed changes and calling a general meeting.
- Special resolution of the shareholders.
- Form MGT-14 filed with the ROC within 30 days, with the altered MOA or AOA.
Changes to the name, registered office state or capital clause follow their own processes – see company name change, change of registered office and increase in authorised capital.
