Capital Reduction

英文名称:Capital Reduction 中文名称:资本缩减
公司缩减股东权益的做法,可通过撤销或回购已发行股票进行。


The process of decreasing a company's shareholder equity through share cancellations and share repurchases. The reduction of capital is done by companies for numerous reasons including increasing shareholder value and producing a more efficient capital structure.

After a capital reduction, the number of shares in the company will decrease by the reduction amount. In some capital reductions, shareholders will receive a cash payment for shares cancelled - but, in other situations, there is minimal impact on shareholders.
