QUESTION 2
2.11
Veritaste (Pty) Ltd is a private company.
The distinctive characteristics of a private company in South Africa under
the Companies Act 71 of 2008 include:
The name of the company must end with "(Pty) Ltd."
It is limited to a maximum of 50 shareholders.
Shares cannot be offered to the public, and there are restrictions on
transferring shares.
A private company is not required to have a minimum number of
directors beyond the one director usually necessary for its
establishment.
Generally, private companies have fewer reporting and regulatory
requirements than public companies.
2.1.2
According to the Companies Act 71 of 2008, the approval of dividends
typically requires shareholder authorization if specified in the company's
Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI). Since Veritaste (Pty) Ltd’s MOI
mandates shareholder approval for dividends, Beauty and Phineas would
generally need to convene a shareholders' meeting to obtain this
approval.
However, the Companies Act allows for certain decisions to be made by
written resolution without convening a meeting, provided all shareholders
entitled to vote agree to it in writing (section 60 of the Act). In this
scenario:
1. Preference shareholder rights: Bongiwe, as a preference
shareholder without voting rights, would not need to consent to the
written resolution if it were used, as she does not hold voting rights
on this matter.
