TYPES OF CAPITAL

1. Distinguish between: Nominal Capital & Subscribed Capital [June 2010 (4 Marks)]

Ans.: Nominal, Authorized or Registered Capital [Section 2(8)]: This is the sum stated in the memorandum of association of a company limited by shares as the capital of the company with which it is registered. It is the maximum amount which the company is authorized to raise by issuing shares.

This is the capital, on which the company had paid the prescribed fee at the time of registration; hence it is also called Registered Capital. As and when this capital is increased, fees for such increase will have to be paid to the ROC.

Subscribed Capital [Section 2(86)]: It is that portion of the issued capital at face value which has been subscribed for or taken up by the subscribers of shares in the company.

2. Distinguish between: Share and Stock. [June 2010 (4 Marks)]

Ans.: Following are the main points of distinction between share & stock: Points

Nature

Shares in physical form bear distinct numbers.

Paid-up value Shares may or may not be fully paid-up.

Stocks are the consolidated value of share capital.

Stock is always fully paid-up.

Nominal value Shares have a nominal value. Stock does not have any nominal value.

Denomination All shares are of equal denomination.

ISSUE & REDEMPTION OF PREFERENCE SHARES

4. Preference share are cumulative unless expressly stated to be noncumulative. Comment. [June 2011 (5 Marks)]

Ans.: Dividends on preference shares, like equity shares, can be paid only out of profits.

With regard to the payment of dividends, preference shares may be cumulative or non-cumulative.

A cumulative preference share confers a right on its holder to claim fixed dividend of the past and the current year and out of future profits. The dividend keeps on accumulating until it is fully paid.

The non-cumulative preference share gives right to its holder to a fixed amount or a fixed percentage of dividends out of the profits of each year. If no profits are available in any year, the shareholders get nothing, nor can they claim, unpaid dividend in any subsequent year.

Preference shares are cumulative unless expressly stated to be non-cumulative.

5. What are the conditions which must be fulfilled for issue and redemption of preference shares? [June 2011 (6 Marks)], [June 2015 (5 Marks)]

Ans.: Issue & Redemption of Preference Shares [Section 55]:

(1) Irredeemable preference shares cannot be issued: No company limited by shares shall issue any preference shares which are irredeemable.

(2) Period for which preference shares can be issued: If authorized by its articles, a company limited by shares may issue preference shares which are liable to be redeemed within a period not exceeding 20 years from the date of their issue subject to prescribed conditions.

However, a company may issue preference shares for a period exceeding 20 years for infrastructure projects, subject to the redemption of prescribed percentage of shares on an annual basis at the option of such preferential shareholders.

As per Rule 10 of the Companies (Share Capital & Debentures) Rules, 2014, a company engaged in the setting-up and dealing with of infrastructural projects may issue preference shares for a period exceeding 20 years but not exceeding 30 years, subject to the redemption of a minimum 10% of such preference shares per year from the 21st year onwards or earlier, on proportionate basis, at the option of the preference shareholders. The term ‘‘infrastructure projects’’ means the infrastructure projects specified in Schedule VI

(3) Source of funds for redemption: Preference shares shall be redeemed:

(a) Out of the profits of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend.

(b) Out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

(c) Partly out the profits of the company and partly out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

While giving approval, the Tribunal shall order the redemption forthwith of preference shares held by such persons who have not consented to the issue of further redeemable preference shares.

Explanation: The issue of further redeemable preference shares or redemption of preference shares shall not be deemed to be an increase or a reduction, in the share capital of the company.

6. Whether equity shares already issued can be converted into redeemable preference shares? [Dec. 2012 (4 Marks)]

Ans.: There is not specific provision in the Companies Act, 2013 regarding conversion of equity shares into redeemable preference shares. However, it was held that where the equity shares are to be converted into redeemable preference shares it was necessary to adopt the process of reduction of capital u/s 66 of the Companies Act, 2013. [Re. Chowgule & Co. (P.) Ltd., St. James Court Estates Ltd.]

7. In no circumstances a company can issue redeemable preference shares with a redemption period of 20 years. [June 2015 (5 Marks)]

Ans.: As per Section 55 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company limited by shares shall not issue preference shares which are irredeemable. A company limited by shares may issue preference shares which are liable to be redeemed within a period 20 years from the date of issue.

As per Rule 10 of the Companies (Share Capital & Debentures) Rules, 2014, a company engaged in the setting up and dealing with of infrastructural projects may issue preference shares for a period exceeding 20 years but not exceeding 30 years, subject to the redemption of a minimum ten percent of such preference shares per year from the 21st year onwards or earlier, on proportionate basis, at the option of the preference shareholders. The term ‘‘infrastructure projects’’ means the infrastructure projects specified in Schedule VI Thus, it is incorrect to say that in no circumstances a company can issue redeemable preference shares with a redemption period of 20 years.

Ans.: Following are the main points of distinction between preference share capital & equity share capital: Points

9. Peacock Home Appliances Limited, an unlisted public company was incorporated in the year 2015 to manufacture domestic pressure cookers. In the year 2017, the company issued six-years, 7%, non-convertible, cumulative preference shares for ` 15 Crore to another company called Classic Appliances Limited. Due to intense competition in the home appliances market, the company was just able to break even. The company did not declare any dividend (both on equity shares and preference shares) since incorporation and unable to redeem preference shares during the year 2023 on maturity.

Referring to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 explain the way for redemption of unredeemed preference shares and how the outstanding preference dividend can be discharged, as the profit is not available for the redemption of preference shares and payment of outstanding dividend. [Dec. 2023 (5 Marks)]

Ans.: As per section 55(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, where a company is not in a position to redeem any preference shares or to pay dividend, if any, on such shares in accordance with the terms of issue (such shares referred as unredeemed preference shares), it may, with the consent of the holders of 3/4th in value of such preference shares and with the approval of the Tribunal on a petition made by it in this behalf, issue further redeemable preference shares equal to the amount due, including the dividend thereon, in respect of the unredeemed preference shares, and on the issue of such further redeemable preference shares, the unredeemed preference shares shall be deemed to have been redeemed.

While giving approval, the Tribunal shall order the redemption forthwith of preference shares held by such persons who have not consented to the issue of further redeemable preference shares.

Explanation: The issue of further redeemable preference shares or redemption of preference shares shall not be deemed to be an increase or a reduction, in the share capital of the company.

(iv) Can Russel sell such allotted shares in the market?

(v) Will the amount that he receives on sale of his shares be considered a part of his remuneration? [Dec. 2019 (1 × 5 = 5 Marks)]

Ans.: Considering provisions of Section 2(88), Section 54 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Share Capital & Debentures) Rules, 2014 relating to Sweat Equity Shares, answer to given case is as follows:

(i) Sweat equity shares can be issued by a company to its directors or employees for providing know-how or making available rights in the nature of intellectual property rights or value additions.

(iii) The company shall not issue sweat equity shares for more than 15% of the existing paid-up equity share capital in a year or shares of the issue value of ` 5 Crore, whichever is higher

(

(

As the paid-up share capital of the company is ` 30 Crore. The company can allot sweat equity shares of ` 4.5 Crore (30 Crore × 15%) or ` 5 Crore, whichever is higher.

Thus, Raney Ltd. can allot maximum ` 5 Crore value of sweat equity shares to its directors and employees.
