Conditional capital increase based on contributions in kind; repayment of contributions

The exchange of bonds for shares of a new issue is not considered a contribution in kind. The resolution may be adopted only if the fact that contributions in kind are being made has been expressly published by due and proper notice.

(3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to the contribution of monetary claims to which employees of the company are entitled based on a share in the profits granted to them by the company.

(4) In the case of a capital increase based on contributions in kind, an audit is to be performed by one or several auditors. Section 33 (3) to (5), sections 34 and 35 apply accordingly.

(5) Section 183a applies accordingly.
