Company law related queries

Dear All

I have following queries and I request you to kindly clarify them:

1.Is it possible to merge a listed Company with an unlisted Public Company? What are the compliances that needs to be adhered to?

2. Does the law provides for the conversion of Redeemable Preference shares into loan?

3. Is it possible to redeem the Preferene shares out of the proceeeds received fromteh sale of Fixed Assets of the Company?I think it is not allowed. The preferne shares can be redeemed only out of the profits of the company and proceeds of fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of redemption.

 

Please clarify.

 

Thanks

Yes, a listed company can be merged with an unlisted public company. The company in which I have done my management training wasa listed company and it has been merged with a unlisted public company.
