7 ASIC to complete formalities of registration
(1) As soon as practicable after a transferring financial institution of this jurisdiction is registered as a company under clause 3, ASIC must:
(a) give the company an ACN; and
(b) keep a record of the company’s registration; and
(c) issue a certificate to the company that states:
(i) the company’s name; and
(ii) the company’s ACN; and
(iii) the company’s type; and
(iv) that the company is registered as a company under the Corporations Law of this jurisdiction; and
(v) the transfer date as the date of registration.
Note: For the evidentiary value of a certificate of registration, see subsection 1274(7A).
(2) If:
(a) the company is registered with a name that does not include “Limited” or “Proprietary Limited” (as the type of company requires), or an acceptable abbreviation; and
(b) the company is not exempt from the requirement to use that word or those words in its name by or under section 150 or 151;
ASIC may change the company’s name so that it includes the required words by altering the details of the company’s registration to reflect that change.
Note: For acceptable abbreviations see section 149.
(3) Subsections 1274(2) and (5) apply to the record of the company’s registration referred to in paragraph (1)(b) as if they were a document lodged with ASIC.
8 Registration of registered bodies
(1) If a registered body becomes registered as a company under clause 3, it ceases to be a registered body. ASIC must remove the body’s name from the appropriate register kept for the purposes of Division 1 or 2 of Part 5B.2.
(2) ASIC may keep any of the documents relating to the company that were lodged because the company used to be a registered body.
