Press Release 16 July 2009
This morning Stephen Peter Crow (Steve Crow) – NZ “Porn King” – had his former wife, Senior Police Sergeant Gaylene Sharon Rogers, resign as co-director of HWGA Co Ltd (Co. No 661946), according to the Companies Office on-line records. This leaves HWGA Co Ltd, which has its registered office at 45 Stanhope Rd, Ellerslie, Auckland, with only one director – Steve Crow.
(Rogers was appointed on 20 April 2006 and unlike Mr Crow was entitled to vote at director’s meetings). Roger’s resignation follows the publication yesterday on Scoop Business News of details relating to 16 complaints received this morning by the Enforcement Unit and Legal Team of the Companies Office, submitted by the Society, relating to alleged breaches of the Companies Act 1993 by Mr Crow.
The Company Constitution for HWGA Co. Ltd was signed by one of its founding directors – Kerry Charles Goldstone – on 29 December 1994 and registered with the Companies Office on 10 January 1995 when the company was incorporated. Since that date the Constitution has not been altered. According to the Constitution, founding director Stephen Peter Crow is unable to vote at any meeting of the directors and this rule remains in force.
Section 3.3 of the constitution of HWGA Co Ltd states:
“Notwithstanding any other provisions of this constitution STEPHEN PETER CROW SHALL NOT BE ENTIITLED TO VOTE AT ANY MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS and shall not be counted in the quorum of such meeting at which a decision is made to allocate or distribute either income or capital of any trust in which he is a beneficiary or potential beneficiary or is a member of a class of beneficiaries which is [sic] will or may be likely to benefit personally from any such allocation or distribution” (Emphasis added).
