Subject to Section 55 of the Act, any preference shares may be issued on the terms that they are, or at the option of the Company are liable, to be redeemed.

 

  (b) The rights conferred on all shares shall in all respects be identical and pari passu with each other.

 

4)      (a)    Offer to Members. Unless otherwise determined by the Company by special resolution or otherwise agreed by the holders of all the classes of shares for the time being issued, all original shares of whatsoever class for the time being unissued and not allotted and any new shares of whatsoever class from time to time to be created shall before they are issued be offered for subscription to the members in proportion, as nearly as the circumstances will admit, to the number of shares held by them respectively. Any such offer shall be made by written notice specifying the number and class of shares and the price at which the same are offered and limiting the time in accordance with Article 4(d) within which the offer if not accepted will be deemed to be declined.

 

  (b) If any member declines or after the expiration of such time limit under Article 4(d) hereof, any member is deemed to decline to purchase the shares offered to him under Articles 4(a) hereof or any part thereof, such shares or any balance thereof shall be offered to the other members (being those who have accepted their respective offers under Articles 4(a) hereof in full) in proportion, as nearly as the circumstances will admit, to the number of shares held between themselves respectively before the offer under Article 4(a) hereof was first made. The time limit for accepting such offer shall be the same as in Article 4(d) hereof.

 

  (c) In the event of any of the other members offered to them pursuant to Article 4(b) declining to purchase the shares or any balance thereof shall be offered to the remaining members (being only those who have accepted their respective offers under Articles 4(b) hereof in full) in the same apportionment as outlined in Article 4(b) hereof. This formula of apportionment of rejected shares to members (being only those who have accepted their previous respective offers in full in the same issue) shall continue so long as any shares or any balance thereof shall not be taken up by the members receiving the offer until there shall be one last member receiving the same. And the time limit for accepting each offer shall in all cases be the same as in Article 4(d) hereof or after the expiration of the time limit for the acceptance of such shares, being deemed to decline such shares the Directors may, subject to these Articles, dispose of the same in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company. The Directors in like manner, dispose of any such new or original shares as aforesaid, which, by reason of the proportion borne by them to the number of persons entitled to such offer as aforesaid or by reason of any other difficulty in apportioning the same, cannot in the opinion of the Directors be conveniently offered in the manner hereinbefore provided.

 

  (d) The time limit for accepting such offer referred to in Article 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c) shall in all cases be not less than twenty-eight (28) days except in the case of a member who requires permission of his Government for accepting such offer, in which case the time limit shall be extended to six (6) months after the time specified by the Company in its notice.

  (e) Sum payable on allotment deemed to be a call. Any sum which by the terms of allotment of a share is made payable upon allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the amount of the share or by way of premium, shall, for all purposes of these Articles, be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for payment, and in case of non- payment the provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture and the like, and all the relevant provisions of these Articles, shall apply as if such sum were a call duly made and notified as hereby provided.

  (g) Calls may be paid in advance. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys due upon his shares beyond the sums actually called up thereon, and upon the moneys so paid in advance, or so much thereof as exceeds the amount for the time being called up on the shares in respect of which such advance has been made, the Directors may pay or allow such interest as may be agreed between them and such member, in addition to the dividend payable upon such part of the share in respect of which such advance has been made as is actually called up.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

14)    (a) Subject to the restrictions contained in these Articles, any member may transfer all or any of his Shares but every transfer must be in writing and in the usual common form, or in any other form which the Directors may approve, and may be under hand only, and must be left at the office or at such other place as the Directors may determine for registration, accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to be transferred and such other evidence (if any) as the Directors may require to prove the title of the intending transferor or his right to transfer the Shares.

 

  (b) The instrument of transfer of a Share shall be signed both by the transferor and by the transferee, and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members in respect thereof, provided that the Directors may dispense with the signing of the instrument of transfer by the transferee in any case in which they think fit in their discretion so to do. Shares of different classes shall not be comprised in the same instrument of transfer.

  (h) Renunciations. Nothing contained in these Articles shall preclude the Directors from recognising a renunciation on the allotment of any Share by the allottee in favour of some other person.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

In the case of the death of a shareholder the survivors or survivor where the deceased was a joint holder, and the executors or administrators of the deceased where he was a sole or only surviving holder, shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares, but nothing in this Article shall release the estate of a deceased holder (whether sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any shares held by him.

 

  (b) Registration of executors and trustees in bankruptcy. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member may, subject as hereinafter provided, either be registered himself as holder of the share upon giving to the Company notice in writing of his desire to be so registered, or transfer such share to some other person. All the provisions of these Articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfer of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer executed by such member.

 

  (c) Rights of unregistered holders and trustees. Save as otherwise provided by or in accordance with these Articles, a person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he shall not be entitled in respect thereof to exercise the right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company until he shall have been registered as a member in respect of the share. Should such person fail either to transfer the share or to be registered as a member in respect thereof within sixty days of being required so to do by the Directors, he shall in the case of shares which are fully paid up be deemed to have elected to be registered as a member in respect thereof and may be registered accordingly.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

16)    (a) Directors require payment of call with interest and expenses. If any member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call or instalment of a call on or before the day appointed for the payment thereof, the Directors may at any time thereafter, during such time as the call or instalment or any part thereof remains unpaid, serve a notice on him or on the person entitled to the share by transmission requiring him to pay such call or instalment or such part thereof as remains unpaid, together with interest at such rate not exceeding 10 per cent per annum as the Directors shall determine, and any expenses that may have accrued by reason of such non-payment.

 

  (b) Notice requiring payment to contain certain particulars. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of seven days from the date of the notice) on or before which such call or instalment, or such part as aforesaid, and all interest and expenses that have accrued by reason of such non-payment, are to be paid. It shall also name the place where payment is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

9


  (c) On non-compliance with notice shares forfeited on resolution of Directors. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. A forfeiture of shares shall include all dividends in respect of the shares not actually paid before the forfeiture notwithstanding that they shall have been declared.

 

  (d) Notice of forfeiture to be given and entered in register of members. When any share has been forfeited in accordance with these Articles, notice of the forfeiture shall forthwith be given to the holder of the share or to the person entitled to the share by transmission, as the case may be, and an entry of such notice having been given, and of the forfeiture with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the register of members opposite to the share.

 

  (e) Directors may annul forfeiture upon terms. Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid the Directors may, at any time before the forfeited share has been otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture upon such terms as to payment of all calls and interest due thereon and all expenses incurred in respect of the share and upon such further terms (if any) as they shall see fit to impose.

 

  (f) Directors may dispose of forfeited shares. Every share which shall be forfeited may be sold, reallotted or otherwise disposed of, either to the person who was before forfeiture the holder thereof or entitled thereto, or to any other person upon such terms and in such manner as the Directors shall think fit, and the Directors may, if necessary, authorise some person to transfer the same to such other person as aforesaid.

 

  (g) Former holder of forfeited shares liable for call made before forfeiture. A shareholder whose shares have been forfeited shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls made and not paid on such shares at the time of forfeiture, and interest thereon to the date of payment, in the same manner in all respects as if the shares had not been forfeited, and to satisfy all (if any) the claims and demands which the Company might have enforced in respect of the shares at the time of forfeiture, without any deduction or allowances for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture.

 

  (h) Consequences of forfeiture. The forfeiture of a share shall involve the extinction at the time of forfeiture of all interest in and all claims and demands against the Company in respect of the share, and all other rights and liabilities incidental to the share as between the share- holder whose share is forfeited and the Company, except only such of those rights and liabilities as are by these Articles expressly saved, or as are by the Act given or imposed in the case of past members.

 

  (i) Title to forfeited share. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director of the Company, and that a share has been duly forfeited in pursuance of these Articles, and stating the date upon which it was forfeited, shall, as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share adversely to the forfeiture thereof, be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated, and such declaration, together with the receipt of the Company for the consideration (if any) given for the share on the sale or disposition thereof and a certificate of proprietorship of the share under the Seal delivered to the person to whom the same is sold or disposed of, shall constitute a good title to the share, and (subject to the execution of any necessary transfer) such person shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall be discharged from all calls made prior to such sale or disposition, and shall not be bound to inquire as to the application of the purchase money (if any) nor shall his title to the share be affected by any act, omission or irregularity to or connected with the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the share.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

 

17) Company may increase its capital. The company may from time to time by special resolution increase its share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

 

18) Company may alter its capital. The company may by special resolution -

 

10


  (a) Consolidate all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares; or
