Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a key question in calculating purchase consideration: should the premium be based on the nominal value or the paid-up value of shares? The consensus is that the calculation depends entirely on the specific terms outlined in the amalgamation, merger, or reconstruction agreement. It's crucial to check the agreement or question details, as these documents will specify whether the premium is applied to the nominal or paid-up value.
