under:
A company cannot :-

by any person to another body corporate
acquire, by subscription, purchase or in any other manner,
securities in any other body corporate
exceeding 60 % of its paid up share capital and free
reserves or 100 % of its free reserves, whichever is more,
unless approved by a special resolution passed at a general
meeting of members.
The Board of the company may give a guarantee without being
previously authorised by a special resolution of members if
all the following conditions are satisfied :-
a Board resolution is passed to this effect
there exist exceptional circumstances which prevent the
company from obtaining previous authorisation by special

which the investment / loan / guarantee / security is
proposed, the purpose of the investment / loan /
guarantee / security, sources of funding, etc.
