Law of Corporate Finance unpacks the complexity of this field of law, while also examining the Companies Regulations and the common-law principles preserved by the Companies Act.It offers a lucid and comprehensive treatment of this notoriously difficult subject. Law of Corporate Finance is written to provide guidance to a wide range of persons seeking a proper grasp of both the principles of corporate finance as well as their practical application %u2013 from the judiciary, legal practitioners and legal advisors to auditors and accountants, from company directors and company secretaries to academics and students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate.The major company law topics in the field of corporate finance are discussed and analysed in this book. A highlight of Law of Corporate Finance is that it includes a discussion of the legal remedies available to investors when the rules relating to corporate finance have been flouted. A further highlight is the practical examples which illustrate how corporate finance rules work and their shortcomings in specific situations.Due to the rapid globalisation of corporate law, a treatment of the legal position in leading foreign jurisdictions has been included, particularly those that have moulded the provisions of the South African Companies Act. These include English law, US law, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand law. This unique perspective provides an invaluable insight into the interpretation and application of the corporate finance provisions of the South African Act.CONTENTSTable of Cases Table of StatutesChapter 1: Sources of Corporate Finance: An OverviewChapter 2: Nature and Classes of SharesChapter 3: Alteration of Class Rights and Minority ProtectionChapter 4: Share CapitalChapter 5: Issue of SharesChapter 6: Legal Incidents of Shareholding Chapter 7: Debt Instruments and Hybrid Securities Chapter 8: Distributions to ShareholdersChapter 9: Share Repurchase and RedemptionsChapter 10: Financial Assistance for the Shares of a CompanyChapter 11: Financial Assistance for directors and Intra-Group Loans Chapter 12: The Offer of Securities to the PublicChapter 13: Regulation of Public Offers and the ProspectusChapter 14: Sanctions for False and Misleading ProspectusesR1 251.00
