Document background
The Amended Articles of Association becomes necessary when a Qatar-registered company needs to modify its constitutional document due to changes in shareholding, capital structure, management arrangements, or business activities. This document must align with Qatar's Commercial Companies Law No. 11 of 2015 and requires official approval from relevant authorities. The amendments typically reflect significant corporate changes such as capital increases, transfer of shares, modification of management structure, or alteration of business activities. The Amended Articles of Association must be executed in Arabic (with optional English translation) and requires notarization and registration with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. For companies registered in the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), additional regulatory requirements apply. This document serves as the cornerstone of corporate governance, defining updated shareholder rights, management responsibilities, and operational procedures.
