Companies Act 1985 (Annual Return) Regulations 2008

21/05/2008

These Regulations were published on 2 May 2008 and are due to come into force on 1 October 2008. The Regulations relate to information which is to be provided in annual returns made up to dates on or after 1 October 2008.

The type of information that will need to be supplied will depend on whether the shares of the company in question are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the period to which the annual return relates.

For companies whose shares have been admitted to trading on a regulated market (at any time during the return period) will be required to disclose the names and addresses of every person who held 5 per cent or more of the issued shares of any class of the company at any time during the return period. Such companies are referred to as "Traded Companies" in the regulations.

"Non-traded Companies" (private companies and public companies whose shares are not admitted to trading on a regulated market) will need to disclose the name of every person who was a member of the company at any time during the return period.
