A shareholder contribution means a shareholder adds capital to the limited company without any new shares being issued. It strengthens the company's equity and is often used to cover losses or avoid a control balance sheet.
A contribution can be unconditional (no repayment) or conditional (repaid when unrestricted equity is available). Unlike a new share issue, it does not affect the share capital or the ownership split in the share ledger.
A conditional shareholder contribution is a contribution to be repaid when the company has unrestricted equity.
