Issue new shares (allotment)

Issuing new shares takes the members' approval, a board resolution to allot, and Form NSC1 within one month. Draft the pack here, free.

What’s in the pack

An allotment changes who owns the company, so it is worth doing in the order the Ordinance expects: authority first, then the board resolution, then the return of allotment. The pack below follows that sequence and leaves the register of members ready to write up.

Two documents in one Word file. Open either to see what it does.

1. Members’ written resolutions

The members authorise the directors to allot the new shares — required for most allotments under the Companies Ordinance.

2. Board written resolutions

The directors allot and issue the shares, instruct the NSC1 filing with the Companies Registry, and authorise the new share certificate.

For one allottee at a time — run the tool again for additional allottees. Issuing shares to a new 25%+ owner also means updating the significant controllers register.
