Redemption amount

Redemption amount

The redemption amount is the compensation paid to a shareholder when their shares are redeemed.

What is a redemption amount?

The redemption amount (Swedish: lösenbelopp) is the compensation a shareholder receives when their shares are redeemed. It may concern a redemption of shares under a redemption clause, a buyback under a pre-emption clause or a compulsory redemption of the minority.

 

How the redemption amount is determined

Under a clause, the basis is often set out in the articles of association. In a compulsory redemption, the amount should as a rule reflect market value, and disputes are settled by arbitrators. Once shares are redeemed, the change must be entered in the share ledger.
