Share Buyback Package

WHAT’S IT FOR?

A share buyback occurs when a company buys back shares from its shareholders. This reduces the total number of shares issued by the company and increases the proportionate ownership of the remaining shareholders.

The buy back procedure is carefully regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). To give proper effect to a buyback and avoid running into serious trouble with ASIC, a company must follow a set of important administrative procedures. An experienced lawyer can help guide the business through this process.
