Alter the Memorandum of your public company with the approvals the law requires.

- Public companies updating capital or liability clauses
Overview
What is MOA Amendment (Public Limited)?
Public companies amend their Memorandum when they diversify, restructure or change their name or capital. The core requirement is a special resolution under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14.
Public companies face extra steps in some cases. If a company has raised money from the public through a prospectus and has unused funds, changing its objects needs a postal ballot, newspaper publication and an exit offer to dissenting shareholders. We guide you through each requirement.
