Subsidiarisation
? ? ?

?

?

?

Subsidiarisation means transferring the business to a wholly owned subsidiary. The transfer can be made either at book value or at fair value. Companies resort to Subsidiarisation when the undertaking needs to be sold but there is no buyer ready to buy all the assets at a given point of time. Under this option business gets transferred to a subsidiary and the parent company continues to hold 100% equity stake in the subsidiary. This option facilitates the process of disinvestment, as only the shares of subsidiary company will have to be handed over when the suitable buyer is found out. This option shifts the control of business from the shareholders to the holding company. Example: S. Kumar's Nationwide Limited transferred its Reid & Taylor division to a subsidiary namely, Reid & Taylor (India) Limited

Capital Reduction
? ?

It is the process of decreasing a company’s shareholder equity through share cancellations and share repurchases. The reduction of capital is done by companies for numerous reasons such as:
? ?

increasing shareholder value producing a more efficient capital structure.

After a capital reduction, the number of shares in the company decrease by the reduction amount. In some situations, shareholders receive a cash payment for shares cancelled – but mostly, there is minimal impact on shareholders. Example: BPL Mobile cellular reduced the paid up capital from Rs. 1,262 cr. to Rs. 1,072 cr. The Face value of the shares has been reduced from Rs.100 to Rs. 85.
