Explanatory Statement

When the company was incorporated it was decided that the main manufacturing unit of the company would be located in the State of Maharashtra and in the memorandum of association it was stated that the registered office of the company would be situated in that State.

Subsequently it was found that the location of the main manufacturing unit in the State of Gujarat would be more advantageous to the company. At present, all the factories of the company are located in the State of Gujarat.

For better management and control, the Head Office of the company has already been shifted to Ahmedabad.

No useful purpose would be served by continuing to keep the company’s registered office in the State of Maharashtra. Moreover, 90% of the members of the company have their registered addresses in the State of Gujarat. The directors, therefore, consider that the memorandum of association of the company should be altered so as to change the place of its registered office from its present situation at................................. in the State of Maharashtra to .................................,a place situated in the State of Gujarat.

After the proposal is approved by the shareholders, a petition is required to be made, under Section 13(4) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the Regional Director for confirmation of the alteration to the memorandum of association of the company so as to shift the company’s registered office from the State of Maharashtra to the State of Gujarat.

It is also proposed to authorize Mr. ............ Company Secretary of the company to sign and file the petition and appear before the Regional Director in connection with the petition. An enabling clause has also been provided authorizing the Company Secretary to appoint any other authorized representative, as he considers necessary in connection with the petition.

The Board recommends the resolution to the members for their consideration and approval.


None of the directors of the company is concerned or interested in the proposed resolution.
