Although the 30th of April 2013, which was the supposed cut-off date for the submission of Memoranda of Incorporation for pre-existing companies (i.e. companies incorporated in terms of the former 1973 Companies Act) to align the provisions of their current Memoranda and Articles of Association with the provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended (“the new Act”), has now come and gone, don’t despair, as there is no restriction on a pre-existing company from adopting an entirely new Memorandum of Incorporation at any stage, or from amending any of the provisions in its existing Memorandum and Articles of Association (now referred to as a Memorandum of Incorporation), which could not be effected by the 30th April 2013.

The Memorandum of Incorporation of a pre-existing company can still be amended by a pre-existing company at any given stage and the provisions of Item 4(2) of Schedule 5 to the new Act have been misinterpreted as having meant that a pre-existing company could only amend its existing Memorandum of Incorporation or adopt an entirely new Memorandum of Incorporation before or by 30 April 2013, which is not the case at all and which provision only meant that up and until 30 April 2013, a pre-existing company could file an amendment to its Memorandum of Incorporation without charge.

As from the 1st of May 2013, any special resolution can still be passed for either the amendment of an existing Memorandum of Incorporation or for the adoption of an entirely new Memorandum of Incorporation for either a pre-existing company, or a company incorporated in terms of the new Act, which will attract a fee of R250.00, which is now levied by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.

Take note of the fact that a pre-existing company still has the choice of either amending certain existing clauses in its Memorandum of Incorporation, or adopting an entirely new Memorandum of Incorporation (“MOI”) to comply with the provisions of the new Act.

Companies and specifically shareholders must still guard against the implementation of the default provisions contained in the new Act and ensure that their Memoranda of Incorporation are tailor-made to suit their particular circumstances.

Failure to amend a pre-existing company’s Memorandum of Incorporation could result in negative and onerous unintended consequences for the company.
