This seminar will addresses the implications of Part 7 of the draft Companies Bill published by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation on 30 May 2011 deals with charges and debentures.

The seminar will also address the issue of financial assistance for acquisition of shares pursuant to section 60 of the Companies Act 1963 (as amended) including the planned introduction of a requirement that financial assistance be given for the principal purpose of the acquisition of the shares.
