104 Transfer to public company of non-cash asset in initial period.E+W+S

(1)A public company formed as such shall not, unless the conditions of this section have been complied with, enter into an agreement with a person for the transfer by him during the initial period of one or more non-cash assets to the company or another, if—

(a)that person is a subscriber to the company’s memorandum, and

(b)the consideration for the transfer to be given by the company is equal in value at the time of the agreement to one-tenth or more of the company’s nominal share capital issued at that time.

(2)The “initial period” for this purpose is 2 years beginning with the date of the company being issued with a certificate under section 117 (or the previous corresponding provision) that it was entitled to do business.

(3)This section applies also to a company re-registered as a public company (except one re-registered under section 8 of the M1Companies Act 1980 or section 2 of the Consequential Provisions Act), or registered under section 685 (joint stock company) or the previous corresponding provision; but in that case—

(a)there is substituted a reference in subsection (1)(a) to a person who is a member of the company on the date of registration or re-registration, and

(b)the initial period is then 2 years beginning with that date.

In this subsection the reference to a company re-registered as a public company includes a private company so re-registered which was a public company before it was a private company.

(4)The conditions of this section are as follows—

(a)the consideration to be received by the company, and any consideration other than cash to be given by the company, must have been independently valued under section 109;

(b)a report with respect to the consideration to be so received and given must have been made to the company in accordance with that section during the 6 months immediately preceding the date of the agreement;

(c)the terms of the agreement must have been approved by an ordinary resolution of the company; and

(d)not later than the giving of the notice of the meeting at which the resolution is proposed, copies of the resolution and report must have been circulated to the members of the company entitled to receive the notice and, if the person with whom the agreement in question is proposed to be made is not then a member of the company so entitled, to that person.

(5)In subsection (4)(a)—

(a)the reference to the consideration to be received by the company is to the asset to be transferred to it or the advantage to the company of the asset’s transfer to another person; and

(b)the specified condition is without prejudice to any requirement to value any consideration for purposes of section 103.

(6)In the case of the following agreements, this section does not apply—

(a)where it is part of the company’s ordinary business to acquire, or arrange for other persons to acquire, assets of a particular description, an agreement entered into by the company in the ordinary course of its business for the transfer of an asset of that description to it or to such a person, as the case may be;

(b)an agreement entered into by the company under the supervision of the court, or of an officer authorised by the court for the purpose, for the transfer of an asset to the company or to another.
