Stated capital cannot be reduced (other than for the purpose of declaring that the stated capital is reduced by an amount that is not represented by the asset value) unless there are reasonable grounds on which the directors can determine that immediately after the reduction, the company will be able to satisfy the solvency test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Transfer of Shares<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Except as otherwise provided for in its constitution, a share in a company is transferable.
