Updated Legislation

The Companies (Amendment) Ordinance 2023 (“the Amendment Ordinance”) will come into operation on 28 April 2023.

The Amendment Ordinance seeks to modernise the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and the Companies (Model Articles) Notice (Cap. 622H) to expressly cater for the scenario of companies holding fully virtual general meetings without the requirement for presence of members at any physical locations; as well as a mixed mode of such virtual general meetings and members attending at physical location(s), i.e. hybrid general meetings.

For details, please refer to the Companies Registry External Circular No. 1 / 2023 at the bottom of this page.
