Our approach to share capital reduction

We use various strategies to decrease the share capital of a Public Limited Company in Luxembourg, customized to the individual requirements and situations of your company. Depending on the circumstances, we may lower the share capital through different methods, including:

Stamping shares

This strategy includes decreasing the face value of current shares and decreasing the overall authorized shares accordingly. It is a simple and affordable method, although it necessitates the approval of shareholders.

Exchanging shares

New shares with reduced face values are provided in return for current shares, resulting in a decrease in the overall capital. Although this approach provides increased versatility, it may be more challenging to execute.

Reducing the number of shares

Shares may be bought back from shareholders or eliminated, thereby reducing the overall number and, as a result, the capital. This method can be advantageous for consolidating shareholders or implementing exit strategies.

Paying dividends

Giving shareholders their share of profits in the form of dividends decreases the amount of retained earnings that count towards the company’s authorized shares. The extent of this reduction depends on the profits that are currently available and might not result in a substantial decrease in capital.
