Document background
The Holding Company Articles of Incorporation is a mandatory legal document required under Philippine law for establishing a corporation intended to hold and manage investments in other companies. This document must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and serves as the company's constitutional document, establishing its legal existence and defining its fundamental characteristics. It includes essential information such as corporate name, principal office, capital structure, and governance framework, while specifically addressing the company's power to hold and manage investments in other entities. The document must comply with the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines and may require additional provisions depending on the intended investment sectors and whether foreign ownership is involved. Used during company formation, this document becomes particularly important for future corporate actions, regulatory compliance, and establishing relationships with other businesses and financial institutions.
