Our approach to share capital reduction

We use various methods to decrease the share capital of a Public Limited Liability Company in Cyprus according to the requirements and situations of your company. Depending on the circumstances, the share capital reduction can be carried out in different ways, such as:

Stamping shares

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

Exchanging shares

Shares with reduced nominal values are exchanged for current shares, resulting in a decrease in total capital. Although this approach provides more versatility, it may be more challenging to execute.

Reducing the number of shares

Shares are bought back from shareholders or eliminated, resulting in a reduction of the overall number and subsequently the capital. This method can be advantageous for consolidating shareholders or devising exit strategies.

Paying dividends

Paying out profits to shareholders in the form of dividends decreases the retained earnings that count towards the authorized shares of the Public Limited Liability Company. Nonetheless, this is contingent on the profitability of the company and may not lead to a substantial decrease in capital.
