Increase / Reduction of Share Capital

Changes to authorised or paid-up capital may require corporate approvals, documentation and statutory compliance depending on the proposed action. We support companies in organising the applicable corporate process and coordinating relevant filings and professional inputs.

Issue of Shares

A proposed issue of shares can involve commercial terms, corporate approvals, offer documentation and compliance requirements. We assist with the corporate and documentation aspects within the agreed scope.

Allotment of Shares

Following an eligible share issue process, allotment may require board actions, statutory records, filings and supporting documentation. We help coordinate these requirements based on the applicable corporate framework.

Transfer of Shares

Share transfers can affect ownership records and may involve transfer documentation, approvals, registers and related corporate compliance. We support the documentation and record-management aspects of the transfer process.

Transmission of Shares

Transmission of shares can arise through circumstances such as succession or operation of law and may require supporting evidence, corporate review and updates to shareholding records. We assist with the applicable documentation and procedural coordination.

Shareholding Restructuring

Businesses may restructure ownership as part of investment, succession, internal reorganisation or a wider corporate transaction. We support corporate documentation and compliance requirements, with broader restructuring matters coordinated through Corporate Restructuring.

Private Placement & Related Compliance

Private placement transactions may involve prescribed corporate procedures, approvals, offer-related documentation, records and filings. We support compliance preparation and coordination within the applicable framework. Activities requiring a registered securities intermediary or other specifically authorised professional are handled by the relevant authorised party.

Corporate Securities Documentation

Share capital and securities actions should be supported by clear corporate records. We assist with resolutions, approvals, registers and related documentation. Wider requirements can also be supported through Corporate Documentation & Approvals.

Share Capital Compliance

We support companies in reviewing and organising compliance requirements connected with share capital changes and related filings. Recurring and event-based MCA requirements can be coordinated through ROC & MCA Compliance.

Shareholding Records & Documentation

Accurate shareholding records are important for ownership clarity, governance and transaction readiness. We assist with the organisation and review of relevant records within the agreed scope. Where securities are held or proposed to be held in dematerialised form, related support is available through Dematerialisation of Shares & Securities.

Supporting Ownership Changes and Transaction Readiness

Share capital and ownership matters may become particularly important during fundraising, due diligence or strategic transactions. Depending on the requirement, related work can be coordinated with Corporate Due Diligence and Equity Fundraising.
