Board Minutes and Shareholder Resolutions to Issue New Shares
£14.99
There are several reasons why a company may want to issue shares, for example new shares may be issued in exchange for investment into the company as a way of injecting capital. However, there are certain formalities that must be complied with before any new shares are issued. These include obtaining the approval of the issuing company’s board of directors who will ultimately issue the shares, and a company’s articles often include rights of pre-emption (where existing shareholders have a right of first refusal over new shares) that require shareholder approval in order to disapply.
