Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • The gazette notification introduces the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Second Amendment Rules, 2023. These rules amend the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014.
  • The amendment focuses on two key areas: regulating share warrants issued by public companies before the Companies Act, 2013, and mandating the dematerialization of securities for certain private companies.

Key Changes

  • Public companies that issued share warrants prior to the commencement of the Companies Act, 2013, and which have not been converted into shares, must inform the Registrar of Companies about the details of such share warrants in Form PAS-7 within three months from October 27, 2023.
  • These public companies must also require the bearers of share warrants to surrender them and dematerialize the shares within six months from October 27, 2023. A notice in Form PAS-8 must be placed on the company's website and published in a widely circulated vernacular newspaper in the district where the registered office is located, as well as in an English newspaper.
  • If share warrants are not surrendered within the specified period, the company must convert the shares into dematerialized form and transfer them to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).
  • Every private company, other than a small company, must issue securities only in dematerialized form and facilitate the dematerialization of all its securities.
  • A private company that is not a small company as of the last day of a financial year ending on or after March 31, 2023, must comply with this rule within eighteen months from the closure of such financial year.
  • Private companies making any offer for securities, buyback, bonus shares, or rights offer must ensure that the entire holding of securities of its promoters, directors, and key managerial personnel is dematerialized before making such offer.
  • Holders of securities in such private companies who intend to transfer securities after the date the company is required to comply with the rule must dematerialize the securities before the transfer. Similarly, those subscribing to securities of the company after this date must ensure all existing securities are held in dematerialized form before such subscription.
  • The rules regarding dematerialization of securities are not applicable to Government companies.
  • Form PAS-7 (Details of pending share warrants) and Form PAS-8 (Notice for bearers of pending share warrants) are introduced.
