EXPLANATORY STATEMENT U/S 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

ITEM 1:

As the members are aware that the Company was originally incorporated on _________ as a public limited company. The Board of directors considered that since there is no involvement of public in the shareholding or management of the Company, it would be appropriate to convert the Company into the Private Limited Company to avoid unnecessary formalities and to obtain privileges which are available to the Private Limited Companies under the Companies Act, 2013 which would help the management to carry out its affairs efficiently & economically. 

 

As per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the consent of the members by way of special resolution is required for conversion of the Company to a private limited company. 

 

The Members are requested to note that the amendment is subject to the approval granted by the Registrar of Companies, ___________, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and such other regulatory authorities, as may be required.

Directors and their relatives are concerned or interested in the said resolution only in their capacity as a member of the Company. 

 

ITEM 2:

The conversion of the Company to a private limited company will result in amending the name clause of the Memorandum of the Company since the name of the Company will change from “_________ LIMITED” to “___________ PRIVATE LIMITED”.

In terms of Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, the consent of the members by way of special resolution is required for amendment of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. The Board has approved the amendment at its meeting held on ________, 2016.

The Members are requested to note that the amendment is subject to the approval granted by the Registrar of Companies, __________, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and such other regulatory authorities, as may be required.

Directors and their relatives are concerned or interested in the said resolution only in their capacity as a member of the Company.

ITEM 3:

The Company was incorporated under the provisions of The Companies Act, 1956 and deemed to exist within the purview of The Companies Act, 2013. Hence the existing Articles of Association (AOA) were based on the Companies Act, 1956 and several clauses/regulations in the existing AOA contain references to specific sections of The Companies Act, 1956 which are no longer in force.

With the coming into force of The Companies Act, 2013, several regulations of the existing AOA of the Company require alteration or deletions at several places. Also, as it is proposed to convert the Company into a Private Limited Company, it is considered expedient to adopt new set of Articles of Association (primarily based on Table F set out under the Companies Act, 2013), in place of existing Articles of Association of the Company instead of amending the Articles of Association by alteration/incorporation of provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 applicable to a private limited company. 

 

In terms of section 5 and 14 of the Companies Act, 2013, the consent of the members by way of special resolution is required for adoption of new set of Articles of Association of the Company.

The Members are requested to note that the amendment is subject to the approval granted by the Registrar of Companies, __________, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and such other regulatory authorities, as may be required.

Directors and their relatives are concerned or interested in the said resolution only in their capacity as a member of the Company.
