Support of share issue

According to practical experience and Russian legislation, joint-stock companies are considered one of the most stable and effective legal forms for doing business in Russia. This form of legal entity offers broad legal capacity and the ability to attract investment through the issuance of securities.

Advantages and Challenges of Establishing a Joint-Stock Company

In addition to obvious benefits—such as protecting shareholders’ interests and enabling easier access to capital—establishing a joint-stock company also involves certain legal complexities. One of the most critical stages is the mandatory and complex procedure for share issuance.

DTK Partners provides comprehensive legal services for the registration of joint-stock companies and the issuance of shares, ensuring full compliance with Russian regulatory requirements.

Stages of Share Issuance

The process of issuing (offering) shares typically consists of five key stages:

  1. Decision to issue shares. This decision must comply with the company’s charter.

  2. Approval of the share issuance resolution. The document must be prepared and approved by the governing body or board of directors.

  3. State registration of the share issuance. This is handled by the Bank of Russia within 30 days. The documents may be returned for revision, in which case the issuance is temporarily suspended.

  4. Placement of shares. This may occur through distribution among shareholders or transfer to a sole holder.

  5. Preparation and registration of the issuance report. Alternatively, a notification on placement results may be submitted to the registering authority.

Some steps may be carried out in parallel, but strict compliance with the timeline and regulatory requirements is essential.

To avoid errors during state registration of securities issuance, it is highly recommended to engage a qualified legal advisor.
