Our approach to share capital reduction
We utilize different approaches to decrease the share capital of a Public Limited Company in Kenya, customized to meet the individual requirements and situation of your company. The methods we use to reduce share capital may vary depending on the circumstances, including:
Stamping shares
This strategy includes decreasing the face value of current shares and correspondingly decreasing the overall authorized shares. It is a simple and budget-friendly method, but it necessitates approval from shareholders.
Exchanging shares
New shares are created with smaller face values in exchange for current shares, resulting in a reduction in overall capital. Although this approach allows for more versatility, it may be more difficult to carry out.
Reducing the number of shares
Stocks are bought back from investors or eliminated, which reduces the overall quantity and subsequently the company’s capital. This method can be advantageous for consolidating shareholders or implementing exit plans.
Paying dividends
Paying out earnings to shareholders as dividends can decrease the retained earnings that go towards the authorized shares of the Public Limited Company. The extent of this reduction relies on the profits available and may not result in a substantial decrease in capital.
