Amendment To Articles Authorising Communications By Website

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE ECONOMIC CRIME & CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT 2023 IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN PHASES AND MAY CHANGE THIS TEMPLATE. 

This Amendment to Articles of Association Authorising Communication by means of a Website is used where a company wishes to rely on the Companies Act 2006 provisions under which shareholders and debenture holders may be deemed to have consented to website communications.

Use this articles amendment to authorise website communications for the deemed consent process

To use the deemed consent process, the company must first either alter its articles or pass a resolution to authorise communication by means of a website.

This template provides a regulation to be inserted into the company’s articles of association for that purpose.

Deemed consent depends on an individual consent request and a 28-day non-response

The company must send an individual request for consent to each shareholder or debenture holder to whom it intends to send or supply documents or information by means of a website.

If the shareholder or debenture holder fails to reply within 28 days, that failure to reply results in the shareholder or debenture holder being deemed to have given consent.

A consent form is available through the related document links below.

Use alongside the correct shareholder approval route

This articles amendment should be used in conjunction with either the “Shareholders' Written Ordinary Resolution” or the documents in the “General Meetings” folder, depending on whether the resolution will be passed as a written resolution or at a general meeting.
