Our approach to share capital reduction
We use different strategies to decrease the share capital of a Private Limited Company in Nigeria, according to the specific requirements and situations of your company. Depending on the circumstances, we can reduce share capital through various methods, including:
Stamping shares
This process includes decreasing the face value of current stocks and decreasing the overall authorized shares accordingly. It is a simple and cost-efficient method, but it necessitates the agreement of shareholders.
Exchanging shares
New shares are created with a reduced nominal value in return for current shares, leading to a decrease in the overall capital. Although this approach provides more versatility, it may be harder to execute.
Reducing the number of shares
Stocks are bought back from investors or eliminated, reducing the overall number and therefore the capital. This method can be advantageous for shareholder consolidation or exit plans.
Paying dividends
Giving shareholders their share of accumulated profits in the form of dividends will decrease the retained earnings that factor into the authorized shares of the Private Limited Company. The extent of this reduction depends on the profits available and may not lead to a substantial decrease in capital.
