Capital increase: prepare subscription records
France and Switzerland require capital increases to be examined for the actual company form and operation. Connect decisions, subscription rights, commitments and contributions paid. New issuance differs from transferring existing shares. Decided, subscribed and paid capital must remain identifiable, and a funding intention does not establish completion of corporate and registration formalities.
