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);
  • 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 organisations that hold shares for employee, community or public benefit.
  • Clause 16 expanded to provide details on borrowing powers to conform with IPSA 1965 Act.
  • Clause 24 changed to conform to one-person, one-vote principles weighted by the fraction of power allocated to each shareholder group.
