Consolidation of shares

A share consolidation is where a set number of existing shares in a company (or share class) are consolidated into one share. The rights attached to the shares do not have to change, it is the number of shares and the nominal value of each share that alters.

One of the main reasons for doing a share consolidation is to tidy up the company’s share capital or reduce the number of shares received for a particular amount paid.   For example if a company has 1,000,000 Ordinary shares of 1p each and the company has a value of just £1000 then the value per share may be seen as far too low. A consolidation of the shares at a rate of 1,000 for 1 would reduce the number of shares to 1000 and increase the nominal value and share price to a more realistic level.
