公司章程修改的法律限制

The Constraints on Charter Amendments of Corporate Law

公司为适应经营环境的变化通常要适时修改公司章程。各国公司法都允许公司章程自由修改,出于公正的要求均在公司法中对修改施加一些基本限制。一般公司法限制公司章程修改的主体,要求公司章程修改须经过特别决议通过,公司章程变更后应办理相应的变更登记。公司章程修改还可能存在特殊情形,这就要求:公司章程修改不能影响特别股股东的权利,不能完全排除公司法的适用。

It is necessary for corporations to amend charters to acclimatize themselves to business environments. Although corporate laws admit the freedom of charter amendments in all the countries, the amendments should still be constrained for the equity in corporations. Generally speaking, the actors, the votes and the registrations will be included in the constraints on charter amendments. The charter amendments should not influence the preferred shareholders＇ rights and the charter amendments should not opt out the corporate law completely too.
