However, the King IV Code adopts a stakeholder-inclusive approach to company governance, being a balancing of the needs, interests and expectations of material stakeholders in the best interests of the company.

The role of shareholders in business rescue proceedings

One of the stated purposes of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) is to promote innovation and investment in South African markets and provide for the efficient rescue and recovery of financially distressed companies, in a manner that balances the rights and interests of all relevant stakeholders, including shareholders. Business rescue is therefore widely accepted as an alternative to liquidation for financially distressed companies, with the intention of giving such companies the opportunity to reorganise and restructure their affairs for them to regain their solvency. To this end, the definition of “ affected persons ” includes creditors, employees (or their representative), a registered trade union and shareholders. The role played by each “ affected person ” is unique in many ways but can have an impact on the failure or success of any business rescue proceedings.

The importance of distinguishing between these concepts is, however, crucial for purposes of determining the VAT liability of a vendor as well as a vendor’s entitlement to claim input tax deductions in respect of expenses incurred.
