Overview
What is AOA Amendment?
The Articles of Association (AOA) are the company's internal rulebook — covering share classes and rights, transfer restrictions, board composition and powers, meetings, and (often) investor protections agreed in a funding round.
Amending the AOA is common at fundraising (to bring in investor rights), when adding share classes, or to update governance. It needs a special resolution of members, filed in MGT-14.
We draft the new articles, pass the resolution and file MGT-14.

What is the AOA?
The Articles of Association — the company's internal rulebook covering share rights, transfers, board powers, meetings and often investor protections.
When is an AOA amendment needed?
