Introduction
This page will be completed when decisions have been made about V2.0.
- Full conformance to UK FCA guildlines on Co-operative Law (IPSA 1965);
- The concept of a qualifying contribution
- Terminology change - from 'Free Shares' to 'Member Shares'. This change seemed sensible because the shares are not a gift, and have to be earned. This better reflects the nature and purpose of the shares distributed in proportion to the value-added each year.
- Clause 15 changed in co-operative version to take advantage of regulations permitting share transfers. A FairShares Co-operative now has the same powers as a FairShares Company to create social economy organisation that hold a proportion of shares for employee, community or public benefit.
- Clause 16 expanded to provide more details on borrowing powers.
- Clause 24 changed to conform to one-person, one-vote principles weighted by the fraction of power allocated to each shareholder group
