Key Features of MEMART Alteration
Foundation of MEMART: The Memorandum and Articles of Association (MEMART) outline a company’s structure, governance, objectives, and operations. The Memorandum of Association (MoA) governs external matters, while the Articles of Association manage internal operations.
Statutory Obligation for Changes: Under Section 44 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, companies must notify the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) when making changes to activities beyond the scope defined in their MEMART.
Reasons for MEMART Alteration: Organizations may alter their MEMART for various reasons, including: Expanding into new sectors or starting new businesses, Mergers or acquisitions, and Restrictions imposed by authorities on certain business activities.
Procedure for MEMART Amendment: The amendment process requires a special resolution passed by the board, followed by drafting a new MEMART to reflect the changes.
Stamp Duty: Each updated copy of the MEMART requires statutory stamp duty payment. The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) assesses and stamps the documents to validate the changes.
Acknowledgment and Certification from CAC: Upon successful filing, the company receives an acknowledgment letter from the CAC. Companies can also request a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the updated MEMART for legal and official purposes.
