Increase and reduction of capital of listed companies
Companies listed on the capital markets have the possibility of financing expansion plans in their activities and business by increasing their capital through (1) Issuing priority rights shares, represented by trading the rights shares in the capital market and subscribing to them by shareholders registered in the shareholders’ register, or selling those rights in the market until the size of the capital increase is covered. If the shares of the capital increase are not covered, the remaining shares will be offered in the auction until the subscription for the increased shares is covered. Alternatively (2) Issuing capital increase shares with suspension of the priority right. This is an option between the issuer and strategic partners to increase capital and feasibly achieve future expansions in the company’s activities and business.
