Written Resolution – Share Premium Reduction

The Share Premium Account Reduction – Guidance Notes should be read in advance of this document.

This Written Resolution – Share Premium Reduction is for use by a company where it wishes to pass a special resolution to authorise a reduction of its share premium account using the solvency statement route open to private companies.

The Companies Act 2006 allows a reduction or cancellation in the amount of a company’s share premium account by passing a special resolution supported by a solvency statement made by the directors. Section 610(4) of the Companies Act 2006, allows a private company to use the same process as a private company uses to reduce its share capital.

If the special resolution is to be passed at a general meeting of the shareholders, the document “Minutes - Share Premium Reduction” should be substituted for this Written Resolution – Share Premium Reduction.

Companies must keep copies of all special resolutions passed at the registered office for inspection by members.
