About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the Act. This part defines key corporate terms and sets out basic incorporation and naming rules, including filing articles with the registrar and using approved corporate naming words. This provision sets rules for corporate names, registered office and records, and the register of individuals with significant control, and gives the registrar powers to require changes or filings. Corporations and related persons must disclose, provide, keep, and use shareholder-control records only as allowed, and several contraventions are offences. This part rules how a corporation may manage stated capital, share series, pre-emptive rights, share purchases/redemptions, commissions, and dividends, while setting insolvency-style limits and some shareholder notice/right-to-copy rules.
