For analysis of the new statutory duty on directors to avoid conflicts of interest, see Companies Act 2006: GC100 publishes guidance on directors' conflicts of interest. From a review of AGM notices for AGMs held after 1 October 2007, it is clear that many companies are changing their articles to reflect the new statutory duty on directors to avoid a conflict of interest (in force on 1 October 2008) and to incorporate a power for the board to sanction conflicts in accordance with the 2006 Act. This document contains two tables: The first table includes details of changes made to companies' articles to deal with conflicts where the articles were made available electronically so the actual changes can be identified. The second table contains a non-exhaustive list of other companies that have included changes to their articles to deal with conflicts in their AGM notice but where the articles themselves were not available on the company's website. The detailed changes cannot therefore be summarised although a link is given to the AGM notice where this was available.

This document contains a table with details of AGM resolutions reflecting the new provisions.
