Share Capital and Prospectuses |
|
 The link below will direct you to a guide on Share Capital & Prospectuses. It is an initial guide to quite a complex subject. It cannot replace professional advice. It:
- explains the basics of share capital;
- applies to all companies incorporated with share capital, whether private or public;
- tells you what information must be delivered to Companies House; and
- covers the regulation of:
authorised share capital, allotment and cancellation of shares; types of shares, restructuring share capital and share transfers; offers made to the public in a prospectus.
You will find the relevant law in the Companies Act 1985 (as amended), the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, and in the Listing Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
