COMPANIES
ACT 1985:
MODEL
212 NOTICE
Section 212 of the Companies Act
1985 gives a public company the power to investigate
the ownership of its shares. Companies do this by
sending a written notice (the 212 notice) to any person
or company whom they have reasonable cause to believe
has, or had, an "interest" (eg. owns, controls
or has certain rights over shares) in their relevant
share capital at some time during the three years
immediately preceding the date of issue of the 212
notice. The Companies Act does not specify a set format
for such notices. However, the DTI is aware that there
is a demand for some form of guidance as to what could
usefully be included in these notices and has therefore
produced a model 212 notice
( 15kb),
which companies can adapt for their own purposes.
