Under what circumstances does the company acquire shareholders' shares?
Under normal circumstances, shareholders may not ask the company to buy shares or return the share capital. However, in any of the following circumstances, the shareholders who voted against the resolution of the shareholders' meeting may request the company to purchase its equity at a reasonable price: (1) The company has not distributed profits to shareholders for five consecutive years, but the company has made profits for five consecutive years and meets the conditions for distributing profits stipulated in this Law; (2) The merger, division or transfer of the company's main property; (3) Upon the expiration of the business term stipulated in the Articles of Association or other reasons for dissolution stipulated in the Articles of Association, the shareholders' meeting will adopt a resolution to amend the Articles of Association to make the Company survive. If the shareholders and the company fail to reach an equity purchase agreement within 60 days from the date of adoption of the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders may bring a lawsuit to the people's court within 90 days from the date of adoption of the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. There is no specific conclusion about the situation of less capital contribution and more shares. It may also be a company established by several close relatives. As long as other investors are willing to let those who contribute less hold more shares, there is no mandatory restriction in law. Otherwise, people who contribute less will have more shares in the company, which is unfair to other investors.
