FAQs on changing the share capital of a company in the Cayman Islands

F.A.Q.

General Questions
About the Service

What are the common reasons for increasing or decreasing a company's share capital in the Cayman Islands?

Companies typically adjust their share capital to accommodate business growth, attract new investors, or issue additional shares to raise funds. Conversely, they may decrease share capital to return unused capital to shareholders, streamline their balance sheet, or comply with restructuring requirements.

Is there a legal limit to the maximum share capital a company can authorize in the Cayman Islands?

No, there is no fixed legal limit to the authorized share capital in the Cayman Islands. However, companies should note that government fees for incorporation and renewal are tied to the size of the authorized share capital. It is advisable to align the authorized share capital with business needs to manage costs efficiently.

Do all shareholders need to approve changes to the company’s share capital?

Yes, most changes to share capital require shareholder approval as per the company’s Articles of Association. This typically involves passing a special resolution during a general meeting of shareholders or obtaining written consent from the majority.

Can share capital be changed multiple times within the same financial year?

Yes, companies can change their share capital multiple times within the same financial year, provided that each adjustment is approved by shareholders and filed with the Cayman Islands registry.

Can a company convert its authorized share capital into different currencies?

Yes, a Cayman Islands company can denominate its authorized share capital in different currencies. This flexibility is often used by companies with international investors or operations to simplify financial management and transactions.

Are there tax implications for increasing or decreasing share capital in the Cayman Islands?

The Cayman Islands does not impose corporate or capital gains taxes. Therefore, changes to share capital do not attract tax implications. However, companies should consider regulatory compliance and potential tax obligations in the jurisdictions where they operate.
