17 September 2009Companies Act sets framework for public offers
Last time we looked at the conceptual framework typically applicable to public share offers. In this column, we look specifically at the conceptual framework used in the 2008 Companies Act to regulate public offers.
The framework of the existing 1973 Companies Act has largely been retained in the new act, which is expected to come into force in July next year.
Competition Amendment Act signed into law - September 2009
On 28 August 2009, President Zuma signed the Competition Amendment Act into law (Act No. 1 of 2009). The Amendment Act will come into force on a date to be proclaimed by the President. The signing of the Amendment Act concludes a legislative process which lasted no less than a year since it was first tabled in June 2008 and finally passed by Parliament in October 2008. However, President Motlanthe was concerned that certain provisions in the Amendment Act were unconstitutional and sent it back to Parliament for reconsideration, which returned it to him unchanged.
