Increases in the total capital stock may negatively impact existing shareholders since it usually results in share dilution. That means each existing share represents a smaller percentage of ownership, making the shares less valuable.
After a capital reduction, the number of shares in the company will decrease by the reduction amount. While the company's market capitalization will not change as a result of such a move, the float, or number of shares outstanding and available to trade, will be reduced.
Supply vs demand - limited supply of shares available to trade will provide the opportunity to increase the value of the shares especially when the company is reporting good profitable numbers
A company may generally reduce its share capital in any way. In particular, a company may do so by cancelling or reducing the liability on partly paid shares, repaying any paid-up share capital in excess of the company's wants, or cancelling any paid-up share capital that is lost or unrepresented by available assets.
Basically the reduction is coming from the share premium account before it was merged to the issued capital. No impact on your shares. Of course the news editors will pretend to be negligent did not highlight this and hope panicky selling happens so opportunist can buy cheap for no reason, cheers.
thank you kelvin trying to find the answer high and low mean i can buy if i think the price is stable. but after the reduction, will the price be adjusted?
Wise move Parkson! At the end their retained profit left 1bil+ and share capital 2bil+ It is just debiting share capital 2bil and credit to retained profit ( at the moment accumulated losses 970mil) It is good for their credit rating assessment.
not make it 0.20... for me 0.205 still good for collect. Generally the news about the reduction actually good for the company future growth because it decreasing it debt.
I think can collect below 20cents , it drops bcoz sudden market shocked , now saying omicron case symptoms very mild , share price maybe can rebound after this
