A company may issue different types of shares with different conditions. These can include:
- Ordinary Shares
- Preference Shares
- Redeemable Preference Shares
- Convertible Preference Shares
- Treasury Shares
The company’s share details, such as the number of shares held, issued share capital and amount of paid-up share capital must be kept up to date with ACRA as part of the annual return.
