Borrowing Power of a company
1. Irresponsible borrowing has caused the closure of many companies in Pakistan and the world. Borrowing beyond a company’s means to service interest and repayments significantly increase its insolvency risk.
2. No law puts any limitation on the amount that company can borrow. There are generalized references to prudence in all decisions, but there is no specific law that forbids a company (or its board) to borrow beyond a particular amount.
3. Virtually no company is restrained by its Articles of Association to borrow beyond any specified limit.
4. There are restrictions imposed on financial institutions by State bank of pakistan that forbid them to lend a company beyond a certain percentage of its total equity, but these restrictions are for lenders, not borrowers.
5. Most listed companies in Pakistan are run by those who hold, directly or indirectly, more than 51 % of the equity. Such persons are liable to inflate the prices of a company’s assets to overstate their equity contribution-thereby circumventing SBP rules. Such companies end up insolvent more often than others.
6. Enhanced risk of insolvency is not the only undesirable consequence of imprudent borrowing. The interest of several stakeholders is adversely affected by company’s inability to service its debts.
In view of the situation as outlines above, assume that Securities & exchange commision has assigned you the task to frame a POICY DOCUMENT ON BORROWING POWERS OF PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY. It is indented that this policy will lead to amendment in companies Act.
4. while framing your proposals give due regard to:
a. Putting an unjustified limit (in terms of amount or percentage of equity) on the maximum borrowing that a company can make may inhibit its growth and hence adversely impact the economy. Again imposing a uniform quantitative or percentage bar on the borrowing of All companies may not be advisable as companies differ in nature and types of capital structures required to run them
b. SBP’s insistence on asking all directors to submit personal liabilities for loans taken by the company is counter productive as it negates the concept of limited liability. Un scrupulous companies nominate persons with poor net worth as directors to dodge this provision and at the same time this provision deters genuine independent directors from accepting directorial appointments. Thus it does not protect the other stakeholders of the company.
c. Exempting non executive directors from responsibility for company’s liabilities appears logical when seen in context of limited liability companies, but it is liable to open up doors for misuse and abuse.
d. The ethical standards of those who run limited companies in Pakistan forbid any attempt to allow them to be self regulated however the scope of formalized self regulation by company boards has not yet been explored.
what i may do now?
