Our approach to share capital reduction
We use different approaches to decrease the share capital of a Private Limited Company in Kenya, which are customized to your company’s unique needs and situation. Depending on the circumstances, we may employ various methods to lower the share capital, including:
Stamping shares
This technique includes decreasing the face value of current shares and decreasing the total number of approved shares proportionally. It is a simple and inexpensive method, although it does need approval from shareholders.
Exchanging shares
New shares are being issued with reduced nominal values in exchange for current shares, resulting in a decrease in the total capital. Although this approach provides increased flexibility, its implementation can be more intricate.
Reducing the number of shares
Stocks are bought back from investors or eliminated, which in turn reduces the overall quantity and therefore the company’s capital. This method could be advantageous for shareholder consolidation or exit plans.
Paying dividends
Paying out accrued profits to shareholders as dividends decreases the retained earnings that make up the authorized shares of the Private Limited Company. Nevertheless, this outcome is contingent on the presence of profits and might not result in a substantial reduction of capital.
