Article 13
|
When an issuer carries out a cash capital increase, merger, receipt of a transfer of shares of another company, or an acquisition or separation in accordance with law, and therefore issues new shares to sponsor the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, it shall not be subject to the prohibition against issuance of shares below par value set forth in Article 140 of the Company Act.
An issuer registering to sponsor issuance of overseas depositary receipts by issuance of new shares at below par value shall, in addition to complying with Article 12, paragraph 2, state its reasons for not using other capital raising methods, state the legitimacy thereof, and refer the same to a shareholders meeting for approval by resolution.
