A share issue means that a limited company issues new securities — usually shares. The purpose is normally to raise capital or to change the share capital.
The most common forms are a new share issue (new shares for payment), a bonus issue (raising share capital from the company's own funds without new money) and a non-cash issue (new shares for property). Each issue must be decided in the correct order under the Companies Act and recorded as a share ledger event in the share ledger.
A new share issue is when a limited company issues new shares for payment to increase its capital.
