Our approach to share capital reduction
We employ several approaches to reduce the share capital of a Private joint-stock company in Russia, customized to meet the unique requirements and conditions of your business. Based on the situation, we can decrease share capital through various methods, including:
Stamping shares
This approach consists of decreasing the nominal value of the current shares while also proportionally reducing the total authorized shares. It’s an uncomplicated and economical method, though it needs approval from shareholders.
Exchanging shares
New shares with reduced nominal values are created in place of current shares, which effectively reduces the total capital. Although this approach provides increased flexibility, it may be more difficult to carry out.
Reducing the number of shares
Shares are bought back from shareholders or eliminated, resulting in a reduced total number and, in turn, a decrease in capital. This strategy can be advantageous for consolidating shareholder ownership or for exit plans.
Paying dividends
Paying out accumulated profits as dividends to shareholders effectively decreases the retained earnings that support the authorized shares of a Private joint-stock company. Nevertheless, this is contingent on the profits that are available and may not result in a substantial reduction in capital.
