    ACCA · Question 13 · The formation and constitution of business organisations

    Answer options:

    A.

    An absolute restriction

    B.

    A provision for entrenchment

    C.

    A class right

    D.

    A shareholder veto

    How to approach this question

    Identify the term used in the Companies Act 2006 for making articles more difficult to amend than the standard 75% special resolution.

    Full Answer

    B.A provision for entrenchment✓ Correct
    A provision for entrenchment (s.22 CA 2006) allows a company to make certain articles more difficult to change than by a standard special resolution (e.g., requiring a higher percentage or unanimous consent). However, it cannot make them completely unalterable.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking that articles can never require more than a 75% majority to change.
