NOTE Co.’s that were incorporated on or after 1 Oct, 2009 = 2006 Act Co. and are governed by the 2006 Act and thus MA apply; conversely, Co.’s that were incorporated before 1 Oct, 2009 = 1985 Act Co. and are governed by the 1985 Act and thus TA apply to its Art. of Asso.

MA = Model Articles

TA = Table A

S.20 of the 2006 Co. Act provides that the articles of a 2006 co. are to be those set out in the “Model Articles” Regulation 2008, except to the extend its shareholders substitute their own articles. There are 3 MA’s:

1. Private Limited Co by Shares

2. Private Limited Co by Guarantee

3. Public Limited Co.

The TA is the equivalent “Model Articles” of a 1985 Act Co. Unlike for 2006 Act Co. there are no TA’s for every kind of company.
