Commentary

Definitions - article 2 of the principal Act

Removes the definition of “exempt company", ending the separate status previously given to certain private companies.

Increase in contributions and matters regarding appointment or cessation of a partner – article 19 of the principal Act

There shall no longer be the necessity for a new partnership deed to be submitted to the Registrar each time there is an increase in contributions by a partner or contribution by a new partner because such change shall take place immediately upon the receipt of the contribution by the partnership. 

The partners having the administration or the representation of the partnership shall deliver to the Registrar the resolution confirming that the contributions have been received by the partnership in the preceding calendar year. This resolution is to be delivered to the Registrar within three months from the end of the calendar year in which such an increase in the contribution of the partnership is affected.

In order to prevent abuse, if the increase in contribution has happened in the same calendar year as when any interests in the partnership are to be transferred, the partner/s having the administration and representation of the partnership shall, deliver to the Registrar a resolution of the partners confirming the increase in contributions made during the calendar year.

In the case of an inter vivos assignment of interest in whole or in part of any partner, unless the deed states otherwise, there shall be required the prior consent in writing of all the other partners, while no such consent shall be required for any assignment causa mortis of a partner's interest.

Additionally, there shall be an amendment in the provisions of the principal Act in respect of the form for the notice of the cessation of a partner, whether upon an assignment of his interests or upon the demise or otherwise, and in respect of the appointment of a new partner. The new wording in the respective provisions of the principal Act in respect of the form of notice to the Registrar, there shall be the name, addresses and identification details of the person being appointed or ceasing to be a partner, as applicable. 

The requirement for the publication of a statement, in terms of article 401(1)(e), has been extended to also include the appointment of a partner or an assignment of a partner's interest in terms of article 19.  The cessation of a partner shall now take effect immediately, and not after three months following the publication of the statement of cessation. Creditor protection measures have been introduced vis-à-vis provisos to the article so that a creditor may object within the three-month publication period and thus in the case of there being judicial proceedings, the court may either order the interest to be re-transferred or the assignment of the interest of the partners, as the case may be, on sufficient security being given by the partnership.

Operative period – article 21 of the principal Act

This article has been amended to remove the three-month delay until any assignment by a partner of all his interest in the partnership becomes operative. All other instances will still have the three-month stay-period as provided in article 21(1).

Applicability of provisions – article 52 of the principal Act

The provisions governing partnerships en nom collectif shall apply to partnerships en commandite or limited partnerships, except were inconsistent. The amendments seek to clarify the fact that:

Insofar as the partnerships en commandite or limited partnerships are concerned, the notice in article 19(3) in respect of the cessation of a partner or the appointment of a new partner shall only be published by the Registrar limitedly in respect of any general partner.

Insofar as the partnerships en commandite or limited partnerships are concerned, the second and third provisos to article 19(3) shall not apply with respect to appointments or cessations of limited partners. 

Memorandum & Articles of Association – article 69 of the principal Act

A new requirement for company officers to ensure that company electronic mail address exists and is monitored regularly.

Directors' declaration – article 73 of the principal Act

The report on any consideration other than cash is no longer applicable in cases where the said consideration does not exceed the monetary equivalent value of €50,000. In case this exemption applies, the directors would deliver to the Registrar for registration a declaration, and the same administrative penalty provision under article 73(6) applies.

Change in company's electronic mail address – article 79 of the principal Act

Apart from the obligation to send the Registrar for registration a return informing him abut a change in the registered office of the company, officers of the company are now also obliged to inform the Registrar of a change in the electronic mail address of the company, within 14 days of the change. 

Regulations about investment companies – article 84 of the principal Act

Civil liability for misstatements – article 94 of the principal Act

An alignment is being made throughout the Companies Act in order to remove decimal values from fines imposed. Fines imposed by the principal Act are not being increased. For instance, a fine previously indicated as €4,658.75 is being reduced to €4,658.

Individual accounts – article 167 of the principal Act

Sub-article (4) is being deleted. The content and form of individual accounts are to comply with sub-article (3) thereof, therefore the requirement of sub-article (4) to provide additional information is not necessary.

Exempt companies – article 211 of the principal Act

The term “exempt" is no longer used. The same qualifications and conditions apply to such companies as long as the conditions provided under sub-article (2) are provided in the company's memorandum and articles.

Change of status of certain companies – article 213 of the principal Act

It is clarified that the term “exempt" no longer applies, however the same conditions hold, and certain private companies may be relieved from complying with certain provisions of the principal Act, as long as the memorandum and articles so indicate. A company will revert to complying with all the provisions of the principal Act in case it no longer continues to fulfil the conditions under article 211.

Simplified dissolution procedure – new article 214A of the principal Act

A new simplified dissolution procedure is introduced for certain situations when a company would not have traded, has no assets and has no obligations due with the Government of Malta or any Government agency or authority, amongst other obligations as provided by the new article.

Liquidator's statement – article 322 of the principal Act

Legal clarification that in the course of a pending winding up procedure, the liquidators' statement is to be sent to the Registrar for registration upon the expiry of a period of 12 months, and then at subsequent period of 6 months.

Procedure for defunct companies – article 325 of the principal Act

A new procedure which is sought to facilitate court proceedings and reduce administrative timelines is being introduced. The amendment provides an administrative solution in the event that a company's name is struck off from the register but whose name was subsequently ordered by the court to be restored in the register for a definite time period.  Following such a period the name is subsequently removed once again from the register but there would still be interested parties to have the company's name kept on the register.

In the above circumstance, the change in the law provides that the interested party/parties shall, prior the expiration of the above time-period, together with the Registrar file a joint court application asking for an extension of the time period for which the company's name is to remain restored in the register.

On pain of nullity, the application is to include any necessary documentary evidence.

In the Fourth Schedule, reference to article 213B(2) is being added, alongside 213B(1), (5), (6), (7) and (8).
