Articles Of Association For Private Co Limited By Shares – Version 1
CO.CD.02.03
Every company must be run in accordance with its Articles of Association. The Articles govern the internal functioning of the company and set out the procedures that must be followed in order to implement the decisions taken by the members and the board.
The Articles of Association for a Private Company contain the internal regulations and bye-laws covering procedure, shares, meetings, directors and other administrative issues.
The Articles may be changed by the shareholders passing a special resolution in a general meeting. Any such change must be notified to the Companies Registry.
These Articles of Association for a Private Company Limited by Shares - Version 1 have been updated to reflect the changes introduced on 1 October 2008 by the Companies Act 2006. For Private Companies existing prior to 1 October 2008, the directors can only authorise conflicts if the Articles contain a specific authority for them to do so. Thus, a Private Limited Company either needs to amend its Articles to allow for director authorization or it can ask its shareholders to pass an ordinary resolution to the same end.
That means that, to avoid the need for shareholder approval of conflicts, a Private limited Company’s Articles will have to be amended.
However, for Private Companies incorporated on or after 1 October 2008 the directors' power to authorise a conflict is implied without the need for specific wording in the Articles.
Private Companies should therefore consider passing a special resolution to confer shareholder consent for the authorisation of conflicts and to amend the company's Articles by inserting conflicts management provisions into their Articles.
Articles of Association for a Private Company contain the following clauses:-
1. General
2. Directors' General Authority
3. Limits on Directors' Functions
4. Directors Interests
5. Conflict of Interests
6. Directors Duty to Disclose

8. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy

13. Appointment and Removal of Directors
14. Directors' Gratuities and Pensions
