Our approach to share capital reduction

We use different techniques to decrease the share capital of a Public Company Limited by Shares in Singapore, customized to meet your company’s individual requirements. Depending on the situation, we may employ various methods to reduce share capital, such as:

Stamping shares

This technique includes decreasing the face value of current shares and correspondingly decreasing the overall authorized shares. It is a simple and affordable method but necessitates approval from shareholders.

Exchanging shares

New shares are issued at a lower nominal value in exchange for current shares, leading to a decrease in total capital. Although this approach provides more flexibility, it can be challenging to execute.

Reducing the number of shares

Shares are bought back from investors or eliminated, reducing the total quantity and, in turn, the capital. This method can be advantageous for consolidating or exiting shareholders.

Paying dividends

When a public company distributes its profits to shareholders as dividends, it decreases the retained earnings that are used to determine its authorized shares. The extent of this reduction depends on the company’s profits and may not result in a substantial decrease in capital.
