Reorganisations and demergers

For strategic, risk management or tax planning reasons, you might require your business structure to be reviewed and to reorganise the ownership of shares or assets.

Reorganisations are often driven by tax considerations and it’s important that your professional advisers appreciate the timing and impact of the relevant steps.

Having worked closely with specialist accountants and tax advisers, the Napthens team has the requisite experience to ensure that the documentation is prepared and completed on time and within budget.

How Napthens can help

We can work on a wide variety of corporate reorganisations including:

• Bonus issues and capitalisations of reserves
• Capital reductions (including capital reduction demergers)
• Creation or collapsing of holding company structures and associated transfers of assets
• Direct and indirect demergers
• Liquidation and striking off processes
• Purchase of own shares (including out of capital)
• Re-registration from public to private and limited to unlimited
• Section 110 schemes of arrangement

We prepare detailed step plans in line with tax advice, undertake the drafting of associated documents, help to identify any requisite third-party approvals and work closely with you and your accountants or tax advisers to ensure all steps are concluded in the requisite timescales.
