Email Newsletter The CRO newsletter facility allows subscribers to receive regular news updates from the office by email. These emails are delivered in text format:
1. CRO E-Zine This is an electronic bulletin published once a month. It informs all subscribers of the current developments within the Office and also notifies subscribers of future events.
2. Interim Messages The email newsletter service is effectively split in two (though only one subscriber list is used). Every subscriber receives delivery of the CRO E-Zine once every month. In the interim subscribers may receive further updates if necessary from the Office (urgent or time sensitive messages).

The ROS cert or sub-cert must be in the name of the individual signing the form.
Two separate individuals are required to sign, one on behalf of the company, and another on behalf of the charge holder. In this regard, please ensure that they are both carefully entered in the Form/s as signatories.

CONVERSION TO NEW COMPANY TYPE - CERTIFICATION OF RESOLUTIONS
Under the 2014 Companies Act, a company may convert to an LTD by submitting Form N1 (free) together with a special resolution and a copy of their new constitution to the CRO, or, if converting under Section 60 of the Act, only an N1 & new constitution is required.
Where a special resolution contains a number of decisions, CRO requires the resolution confirming the shareholders’ consent to the conversion to LTD to be extracted and filed with the N1 form, and that extract must be certified by a director or secretary as a true copy of the original.
When converting to one of the new company types, a list of subscribers must be attached to the new Constitution. This list must be the ORIGINAL SUBSCRIBERS LIST as submitted to the CRO on incorporation, not the current list of subscribers/shareholders.
In addition, it is the latest Authorised Share Capital and Share Value, as submitted to the CRO which must be stated on the new Constitution.
Companies converting to the new LTD type do not need to state the Authorised Share Capital, but the current Share Value must be the most up to date value, as filed with the CRO
See sections 191-198, Companies Act 2014 and SI No 39/2002 – section 23(1), Companies Act 1990 (Form and Content of Documents Delivered to the Registrar) Regulations 2002.
