Art. 781

L. In­crease in the nom­in­al cap­it­al

 

1 The mem­bers’ gen­er­al meet­ing may re­solve to in­crease the nom­in­al cap­it­al.

2 The im­ple­ment­a­tion of the res­ol­u­tion is the re­spons­ib­il­ity of the man­aging dir­ect­ors.

3 Sub­scrip­tion and the cap­it­al con­tri­bu­tions are gov­erned by the reg­u­la­tions on the es­tab­lish­ment of the com­pany. The ref­er­ence to rights and ob­lig­a­tions un­der the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation is not re­quired if the sub­scriber is already a mem­ber. The rel­ev­ant reg­u­la­tions on in­creas­ing the cap­it­al of a com­pany lim­ited by shares also ap­ply to the sub­scrip­tion form. A pub­lic in­vit­a­tion to sub­scribe to the cap­it­al con­tri­bu­tions is not per­mit­ted.560

4 An ap­plic­a­tion to re­gister the in­crease in the nom­in­al cap­it­al must be filed with the com­mer­cial re­gister with­in three months of the res­ol­u­tion of the mem­bers’ gen­er­al meet­ing, oth­er­wise the res­ol­u­tion be­comes in­val­id.

5 In ad­di­tion, the cor­res­pond­ing pro­vi­sions on an or­din­ary in­crease in cap­it­al for a com­pany lim­ited by shares ap­ply to:

1.
the form and con­tent of the res­ol­u­tion of the mem­bers' gen­er­al meet­ing;
2.
the sub­scrip­tion rights of com­pany mem­bers;
3.
an in­crease in the com­pany cap­it­al from equity cap­it­al;
4.
the re­port on the in­crease in cap­it­al and the audit con­firm­a­tion;
5.
the amend­ment of the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation and the de­clar­a­tions made by the man­aging dir­ect­ors;
6.
the re­gis­tra­tion of the in­crease in nom­in­al cap­it­al in the com­mer­cial re­gister and the nullity of of­fi­cial doc­u­ments is­sued pre­vi­ously.

560 Amended by No I 2 of the FA of 17 March 2017 (Com­mer­cial Re­gister Law), in force since 1 Jan. 2021 (AS 2020 957; BBl 2015 3617).
