The Companies Form 980DEC is used in the UK to provide notice of a statutory declaration to any non-assenting shareholders.
It must be used when a company wishes to give notice of a declaration relating to a notice to non-assenting shareholders. The form must be given to the non-assenting shareholders in the manner required by the regulations.
A statutory declaration is a written statement that a person signs and declares to be true and correct in the presence of an authorised witness. It is a formal way of declaring something to be true and is legally binding.
Non-assenting shareholders are those who have not given their consent to a particular decision or action.
Section 980(4) of the Companies Act 2006
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/section/980provides:
(4)At the time when the offeror first gives a notice under section 979 in relation to an offer, he must send to the company—
(a)a copy of the notice, and
(b)a statutory declaration by him in the prescribed form, stating that the conditions for the giving of the notice are satisfied.
