Our approach to share capital reduction
We use various strategies to decrease the share capital of a Public Company in Switzerland, taking into account the individual requirements and situations of your company. Depending on the circumstances, we may employ different approaches to reduce the share capital, including:
Stamping shares
This procedure includes decreasing the nominal value of current shares and reducing the overall authorized shares in proportion. It is a simple and affordable method, but it necessitates approval from shareholders.
Exchanging shares
New shares are created with a reduced par value in return for current shares, leading to a decrease in total capital. Although this approach allows for more flexibility, it can be challenging to execute.
Reducing the number of shares
Stocks are bought back from investors or eliminated, reducing the overall number of shares and, as a result, the capital. This tactic can be advantageous for consolidating shareholders or implementing exit strategies.
Paying dividends
Paying out accumulated profits to shareholders as dividends will decrease the retained earnings that are part of the authorized shares of the Public Company. However, the impact of this on capital reduction may not be sizable, as it depends on the amount of profits available.
