Group: Die englische Limited in Deutschland

Guten Morgen,

da soll es eine Vereinfachung gegeben haben.
Wie wird das nun aktuell gehandhabt?

Grüße
Lang

Moin Herr Lang,

stimmt, nach dem CA 2006 braucht man nun keine Court Order mehr. Es sind aber immer noch einige Formalitäten einzuhalten. Insbesondere müssen die directors versichern, dass die Kapitalherabsetzung Gläubigerinteressen nicht beeinträchtigt und die Gesellschaft nicht schädigt.

Viele Grüße
Michael Klose

Guten Morgen,

vielen Dank erstmal.
Was muß dazu dann beim Companies House eingereicht werden?
Grüße

Eine special resolution und Form SH15

Vorgehen so:
Share capital reduction through the solvency statement route – Sections 641(1)(a) & (2)-(6), 642 to 644

As an alternative to passing a special resolution and obtaining court approval, private companies will have the option of reducing the amount of their share capital by special resolution supported by a solvency statement made by the directors. The resolution and solvency statement, a memorandum of capital, showing the alteration in the company’s share capital and an additional directors’ statement will have to be submitted to Companies House.

Please note, for solvency statements made between 1st October 2008 and 30th September 2009, a memorandum of capital (as defined in The Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No. 7, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2008 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2008/uksi_20081886_en_1), must be sent to Companies House. For solvency statements made on or after 1st October 2009, this memorandum must be replaced by a statement of capital as defined in section 644(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

What is the purpose of introducing the solvency statement route?
The solvency statement route provides a simpler and cheaper means for a company to reduce its share capital

How is the form and content of the solvency statement to be determined?
Companies House cannot give advice on the content of the solvency statement required by section 643 of the CA 2006. The statement must be produced by the company for its members and the content is governed by s643. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2006/ukpga_20060046_en.pdf

The form of the solvency statement is governed by regulations - The Companies (Reduction of Share Capital) Order 2008 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2008/uksi_20081915_en_1

Copies of the Companies Act and the regulations are available on the on the BERR website.

For registration purposes, the company name and number should be included on each of the documents sent to Companies House.

Vielen Dank.
