Reduction of share capital of the limited liability company

Leave a comment

A limited liability company’s share capital may be reduced by the resolution of the company’s general meeting, but not below the minimum share capital, which amounts to at least RSD 100, unless a special law provides a higher amount of the share capital for companies dealing in certain business activities.

Decision to reduce the share capital of a limited liability company below the minimum share capital may be passed only under a condition that an increase in share capital is simultaneously carried out, so that, as a result of such reduction and increase the company’s share capital becomes at least equal to the minimum amount of share capital, which amounts to at least RSD 100, unless a special law provides a higher amount of the share capital for companies dealing in certain business activities.

If the limited liability company fails to simultaneously pass a decision on increase of share capital and fails to carry out such increase, the decision on reduction of share capital is null and void. Continue reading Reduction of share capital of the limited liability company →
