MAJOR UPDATES A. Conversion of Company Types New Form NNC1 Incorporation Form (Company Limited by Shares) NNC1G Incorporation Form (Company Not Limited by Shares) NAR1 New CO Sec. 7, 8, 9, 10 Annual Return Under the New Companies Ordinance (Cap.622) ( the New CO ), the types of company that can be formed are different from the predecessor Companies Ordinance (Cap.32). Some company types are obsolete and are thereby re-grouped. CSA converts the company types as follows: Old Company Type Code New Company Type Code Limited by Guarantee (Private / Shares) Limited by Guarantee (Non-private / Shares ) GPS GNS Limited by Guarantee (Shares) GUS Limited by Guarantee (Private / No Shares) Limited by Guarantee (Non-private / No Shares ) GPN GNN Limited by Guarantee (No Shares) GUN Unlimited (Private / Shares) Unlimited (Private / No Shares) UPS UPN Unlimited (Private) UPV Unlimited (Non-private / Shares) Unlimited (Non-private / No Shares) UNS UNN Unlimited (Public) UPU B.

For example, the Register of Directors and Secretary are separated into two Registers. The old R2 is unlikely to be amended to cope with those new requirements. Thus, the old R2 form is not recommended to be used in the transitional period.
