Summary of the proposed changes
The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc aim to modernise and align the Company's corporate governance framework with current legal requirements and business practices. Key changes include updating the object clause to ensure that the company seizes future business opportunities without being restricted by outdated objectives. The amendments also address the need to remove references to the Memorandum of Association, which no longer applies. Additionally, the Company seeks to adopt electronic means for various processes, such as electronic meeting notifications and electronic voting during Annual General Meetings (AGMs), to reduce costs and align with current business trends.
Further amendments focus on enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of corporate governance. This includes revising the provisions for share certificates to accommodate dematerialized shares, updating the rules for AGMs to comply with the Companies Act No. 10 of 2017 ("the Act"), and allowing AGMs to be held via teleconferencing. The amendments also introduce a system for appointing and removing directors based on shareholding and revise the remuneration provisions for Directors to ensure that they are flexible and approved by shareholders. Other significant changes involve harmonizing accounting terms with International Accounting Standards, aligning the audit report requirements with the Act, and including provisions for an Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) as per the Act. Additionally, the proposed changes will provide the company with the flexibility to undertake several corporate actions aimed at improving the benefits accruing to shareholders while promoting the success of the Company. These proposed changes are designed to streamline operations, enhance shareholder engagement, and ensure compliance with legal requirements and best corporate governance practices.
