Schedule of Amendments to the Articles of Association of the Institute of the Motor Industry

An amendment to item 24 of the Articles of Association is required on the basis that the Articles of Association should reflect that all Corporate Members have the same rights, votes and benefits, and that non-corporate members do not form part of the mutual trading status and profits arising from these members are taxed in full.

This change is recommended by the IMI's external auditors in order to be compliant with HMRC.

Proposed Amendment

Article 24 - addition of the words 'in proportion to the contributions made by Corporate Members'.

Article 24 showing proposed addition of words in italics

If upon the winding up or dissolution of the Institute there remains after the satisfaction of all its debts and liabilities any property whatsoever the same shall be paid to or distributed among the Corporate Members of the Institute "in proportion to the contributions made by Corporate Members" PROVIDED THAT the quorum for the approval of a special resolution to approve the winding up or dissolution of the Institute shall require a quorum of two hundred members (or if the membership is less than two hundred in total 75%of the total membership) present in person or via their authorised representative in the case of a Business Member. If a quorum is not present the provisions of Article 14.3 shall not apply to the meeting or part of the meeting.
