Seminar on New Companies Ordinance (Additional Session)

Starting from 3 March 2014, the new Companies Ordinance, Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong (“new CO”), will commence operation. The seminar is suitable for administrators who oversee corporate governance, board management, membership issues, company secretarial duties, etc.

There are some significant changes under the new CO, including:

* The Memorandum of Association is abolished

* New arrangements for Submission of Annual Return

* New rules introduced under the new CO for proposing and passing a written resolution

In view of this, there will be significant changes such as the abolition of Memorandum, mandatory regime of no-par and restricting corporate directorship, all these will affect a company's daily operation and require your attention.

To provide more details regarding the changes under the new CO for practitioners in the field, with great pleasure, the Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association (HKAAA) has invited Mr Antony SIN Ming Hei, HKAAA’s Honorary Legal Advisor, to give a talk on this issue.
