Redemption Of Shares – Guidance Notes
CO.RE.01
This document has now been replaced with content in the Share Redemption Profits.
There are two types of situations when a company can buy its own shares:
- Purchase of own shares; and
- Redemption of redeemable shares.
Generally, a private limited company may decide to purchase its own shares, either using the own shares purchase or redemption mechanism. There are very strict rules that companies must follow for the purchase or redemption of shares.
This document deals with redemption of redeemable shares; for own share purchase please click on Own Shares Purchase – Guidance Notes in the related documents link below.
A limited company can issue shares which are to be redeemed or liable to be redeemed at the option of the company. Redeemable shares give the shareholder temporary membership in the company since shares issued as redeemable shares have the rights to be bought back (redeemed) by the company at a future date.
A company can only issue redeemable shares if the articles of association provide for it. Also, all the details of the redemption, including the date of redemption and the price to be paid for the shares at that date, will be contained in the articles.
