How do I handle a shareholder exiting the company?
Either the remaining shareholders (or a new buyer) purchase the exiting shareholder's shares by transfer, or the company buys them back under the share buy-back provisions, which require solvency and follow a stricter process. Both need proper valuation, stamping and SSM filings. A shareholders' agreement, if one exists, usually dictates the mechanism and price basis.
Statutory figures: Companies Act 2016 Stamp Act 1949
