When do pre-emption rights apply on the issue of new shares?

In addition to the authority to allot new shares, an allotment of new shares may also be subject to pre-emption rights in favour of existing shareholders. Pre-emption rights give existing shareholders first refusal on an issue of new shares – the new shares must be offered to existing shareholders before they can be taken up by new investors or shareholders. Under the Companies Act 2006, pre-emption rights will apply on the issue of new shares by a private limited company unless: the pre-emption rights have been disapplied either in the company’s Articles of Association or by a special resolution of shareholders, or the issue of new shares is under an employee share scheme, wholly or partly for non-cash consideration or a bonus issue
