Companies Act 2014 section 799

Interpretation (Chapter 2)

Section 799 defines key terms used in Chapter 2 relating to disclosure orders and clarifies what is meant by references to share capital throughout the chapter.

• A "disclosure order" is an order made by the court under section 800.
• A "share acquisition agreement" has the specific meaning set out in section 808.
• References to "share capital" or "relevant share capital" mean only share capital that carries voting rights at a general meeting in all circumstances.
• Any reference to a "share" in this chapter should be understood in the same way — as a share that confers voting rights at a general meeting.
