For buy back of shares as per sec 55 of the companies act 2013 company can go for following 3 alternative options.
1. out of free reserves.
2. out of fresh issue
3. both of the above.
ok.
if company has huge amount of free reserves then company will choose option 1 only. i.e. buy back exclusively out of free reserves only.
but company requires some amount of liquid for payment to share holders on buy back.
in the case of shortage of liquid cash - company will go for the following options.
1. sale of assets
2. loans from banks
3. issue of debentures/ bonds
4. issue of shares.
when company has selected last option, then how many shares to be issued for fulfilling the liquid fund requirements. so
number is shares to be issued is based on issue price not on face value.
