JSE Limited proposed memorandum of incorporation with a new memorandum of incorporation. The proposed new MOI to be adopted at its annual general meeting to be held on April 25, 2013. The new MOI incorporates changes necessitated by the coming into force of the Companies Act and the Companies Regulations, 2011 promulgated in terms of the Companies Act, 2008 (Act No.71 of 2008) which replaced the previous Companies Act, 1973 (Act No. 61 of 1973). The company's existing MOI remains in force and effect for a period of two years from May 1, 2011, being the date on which the Companies Act came into effect. Thereafter, if the company has not adopted a new MOI that has been harmonized with the Companies Act, any provision of the existing MOI which contravenes or is inconsistent with the Companies Act shall be void. Accordingly, before April 30, 2013, the company is required to adopt a new MOI that conforms to the Companies Act. The new MOI is also drafted to comply with the JSE listings requirements. Where provisions were not required to be amended for purposes of the Companies Act or the JSE Listings Requirements, the provisions of the existing MOI have been retained as far as reasonably possible.
