Withdrawal of annual returns system.

The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) recently upgraded the annual returns system. However, there are technical problems that continue to beset the system and have an impact on customer services. As a result CIPC will immediately withdraw the annual returns system for a period of a month. During this period customers will not be able to file annual returns. CIPC will embark on a review of the annual return system, which is envisaged to be completed by the end of July 2013.

As a result of the withdrawal of the annual returns system and its review CIPC will only effect final deregistration of non-compliant entities at the end of September 2013 as opposed to the end of June
2013.

CIPC has implemented a process to deal with enterprises that are currently in the re-instatement process. Customers who have enquiries regarding re-instatement process should send an email to a dedicated email address on [email protected].

Customers and the public are urged to bear with CIPC as it strives to ultimately resolve the annual returns system problems and continues with the necessary implementation of its programme to upgrade the IT hardware and infrastructure. System downtimes at certain points will be necessary for the completion of the task. During this time, every effort will be made to minimise the negative impact on our customers.

Customers are advised to refer to the website on a regular basis.

Your patience and co-operation is appreciated.

GUIDANCE NOTE 1 OF 2013

Companies and Intellectual
Property Commissio a member of dtl group

AMENDMENT OF CORPORATE CONSTITUTIONS (MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION) BEFORE EXPIRY DATE OF TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS UNDER COMPANIES ACT, 2008.


Schedule 5 of the 2008 Companies Act (Act No. 71 of 2008) makes provision for the transitional arrangements:


1. Amongst other things, it provides that in the event of the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of the pre-existing company being inconsistent with the Act, those provisions of the Memorandum and Articles take precedence over the Act (Item 4(4)(a)(i) of Sch. 5). It further provides that the provisions of the Company Rules and Shareholders' Agreements of a pre­ existing company which are inconsistent with the Act take precedence (Item 4(4) (a)(ii) and (iii) of Sch. 5). However, this is only effective for a period of two years from the date of the effective implementation of the Act, being 1 May 2011.


2. This transitional period is coming to an end on 30 April 2013, from which date every company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, Company Rules and Shareholders' agreements are expected to be subject to the provisions of the 2008 Companies Act, regardless of any contrary provisions in such pre-existing corporate documents, including the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

3. Prior to the expiry period of the transitional arrangements, companies that have still not aligned their corporate documents (i.e. Memorandum and Articles of Association, Shareholders Agreements and Company Rules) to the new Companies Act and the Memorandum of Incorporation run the risk of being subjected to the position reflected in their said corporate documents in the case of a conflict between the provisions of their pre-existing corporate documents and the Companies Act, regardless of the fact that the relevant provisions under the pre-existing constitution may be unfavorable as compared with the position under the new
Companies Act.

Companies are therefore advised to timeously submit any amendments to their corporate constitutions (Memorandum and Articles of Association) in order to avoid prejudices that might arise as a result of high volumes.
