AOA Amendment
AOA Amendment services managed seamlessly by our expert team.
The Articles of Association set out how your company is run. When you need to change them, for example to add investors or change rules for shares, you must follow a formal procedure. CASYST prepares the changes, resolutions and ROC filings.
What is AOA Amendment?
The Articles of Association contain the internal rules of a company, such as the rights of shareholders, procedure for board and general meetings and transfer of shares. They can be altered by a special resolution of the members and by filing the resolution with the Registrar.
Alterations are common when a company takes on investors, changes its share structure or converts its status.
