• A. Memorandum of Association
  
• B. Articles of Association
  
• C. Table A
  
• D. Prospectus

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Table A

Table A is the name given to the prescribed format for articles of association of a company limited by shares under the Companies Act 1985 and earlier legislation. When a company limited by shares was incorporated, it didn’t need to file articles if it used ‘Table A’ as its articles. Table A has now been replaced by the new model articles for all companies registered from 1st. October 2009. Existing companies will still be regulated by their existing articles, based on the version of Table A in force when the company was registered or the latest articles adopted. Such companies may find it beneficial to update their articles by adopting new regulations based on model articles.
