638 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 24 28 FEBRUARY 2013

Explanatory Note

The Registrar of Companies has reviewed the existing prescribed form for annual returns filed pursuant to section 214(1) of the Act.

Every company must hold its first meeting of shareholders within 18 months of incorporation and every year thereafter pursuant to section 120 of the Act.

Minutes of all meetings and resolutions in lieu of a meeting form part of the company records, which are kept at the company’s registered office.

The annual return form currently requires companies to state the date on when the annual meeting of shareholders was held or the date of resolution in lieu of a meeting.

The Registrar of Companies does not confirm the accuracy of the information provided.

In an effort to simplify the process of filing an annual return and in preparation for future delivery of this form using mobile channels, the revised form therefore removes the question relating to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders.

It should be noted that this change to the annual return form does not affect the underlying requirement in section 120 of the Act for all companies to call an annual meeting of shareholders (or pass a resolution of lieu of a meeting in accordance with section 122 of the Act).
