Our approach to share capital reduction
We use various strategies to decrease the share capital of a Public Limited Company in Estonia, which are customized to your company’s individual requirements and situation. Depending on the circumstances, we can reduce the share capital through a range of methods, including:
Stamping shares
This technique includes decreasing the face value of current shares and adjusting the total authorized shares accordingly. It is a simple and economical method, but it necessitates the consent of the shareholders.
Exchanging shares
Issuing new shares with reduced nominal values in exchange for current shares results in a decrease in total capital. Although this approach provides more flexibility, it may be more challenging to execute.
Reducing the number of shares
Companies can buy back shares from shareholders or eliminate them, which reduces the overall number of shares and therefore the capital. This can be advantageous for consolidating shareholders or implementing exit strategies.
Paying dividends
Giving shareholders their share of profits as dividends reduces the retained earnings that are used to determine the authorized shares of the Public Limited Company. It is important to note that this may not lead to a substantial decrease in capital, as it depends on the amount of profits available.
