Set-off issue

Set-off issue

A set-off issue is a new share issue where new shares are paid for by setting off a claim against the company.

What is a set-off issue?

A set-off issue (Swedish: kvittningsemission) is a new share issue where the subscriber pays by setting off a claim against the company, such as a loan (kvittning). The company's debt decreases and its equity increases, without any money changing hands.

 

A set-off issue and the share ledger

Set-off issues often strengthen the balance sheet or turn a lender into a shareholder. The number of shares increases and existing owners may face dilution. The new shares are entered in the share ledger once the issue is registered.
