A subscriber who wishes to subscribe for new shares should apply in writing to the company.

What does a company need to consider before issuing new shares?

Before the shares can be allotted by the company, the following matters need to be checked and, if necessary, documented:

  • whether pre-emption rights on the issue of shares applicable to the company need to be waived or disapplied. Pre-emption rights may arise under one or more of the Companies Act 2006, the company’s Articles of Association and, if applicable, the company’s Shareholders Agreement
  • whether the subscriber is required to become bound by the company’s Shareholders Agreement
