                                • A distribution is a way of returning value to a company's shareholders.
                                1. If the company fails to satisfy the solvency test
                                  1. the distribution is deemed not to have been validly made
                                    1. Therefore it may be recovered by the company from the shareholder if
                                      1. the shareholder received the distribution in good faith and without knowledge of the company's failure to satisfy the solvency test
                                        1. the shareholder has altered his position in reliance on the validity of the distribution
                                          1. it would be unfair to require repayment in full or at all
                                            1. As a result: each shareholder who agreed to or concurred in the making of the distribution is personally liable to the company to repay to the company so much of the distribution as is not able to be recovered from the shareholders to whom the distribution was made.
                                              1. the Court is satisfied that the company could, by making a distribution of a lesser amount, have satisfied the solvency test, the Court may
                                                1. permit the shareholder to retain or
                                                  1. relieve the shareholder from liability in respect of, an amount equal to the value of any distribution that could properly have been made.
                                        2. all the shareholders or members of a private company may, by agreement in writing, restrict in whole or in part the discretion and powers of the directors of the company to manage the business and affairs of the company and may confer on any person who is a party to such agreement, whether or not a shareholder, a member or director of the company, such powers and discretions as they think fit.
                                          1. A person who is a party to a unanimous shareholder agreement on whom such powers and discretions are conferred shall have, to the extent that such agreement so provides, all the rights, powers and duties incurred in relation to the exercise of such rights, powers and duties all the liabilities of a director of the company under this Act and the director or directors concerned shall, to such extent and, subject to section 131(2), be relieved of their duties and liabilities.
                                            1. Delegation of powers
                                              1. Nothing shall operate to relieve persons who are directors of the company of their obligations to file any return or notice with the Registrar required by this Act.
                                              2. A unanimous shareholder agreement shall not have effect until all the directors of the company, a company holding a Category 1 Global Business Licence, its management company, Category 2 Global Business Licence, its registered agent
