Why we cannot issue shares on discount


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
UK company law, specifically the Companies Act 2013, prevents companies from issuing shares at a discount. This rule is in place to maintain fairness and prevent unhealthy competition among businesses. Even when a company struggles to raise funds or faces high interest rates, issuing shares below their nominal value is not permitted due to potential financial instability and market distortions.

24 July 2022 Company act 2013 prohibites issue of shares at discount but why we can't issue when conpany is finding difficult in raising funds or when interest rates are high ? I want to know logic behind this

24 July 2022 A company cannot issue shares at a discount because the loss due to the discounted price is barely managed by any company.

25 July 2022 Issuing share at below par value / discount may not have parity among all companies and may create unhealthy competition also.

25 July 2022 Thanks sir for your valuable time
