Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 9.20. Reduction of paid-in capital.
(a) A corporation may reduce its paid-in capital:
(1) by resolution of its board of directors by |
| charging against its paid-in capital (i) the paid-in capital represented by shares acquired and cancelled by the corporation as permitted by law, to the extent of the cost from the paid-in capital of the reacquired and cancelled shares or a lesser amount as may be elected by the corporation, (ii) dividends paid on preferred shares, or (iii) distributions as liquidating dividends; or
|
|
(2) pursuant to an approved reorganization in
|
| bankruptcy that specifically directs the reduction to be effected.
|
|
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act, at no
time shall the paid-in capital be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate
par value of all issued shares having a par value.
(c) Until the report under Section 14.30 has been filed in the Office of the
Secretary of State showing a reduction in paid-in capital, the basis of the
annual franchise tax payable by the corporation shall not be reduced; provided,
however, that in no event shall the annual franchise tax for any taxable year
be reduced if the report is not filed prior to the first day of the anniversary
month or, in the case of a corporation that has established an extended filing
month, the extended filing month of the corporation of that taxable year and
before payment of its annual franchise tax.
(d) A corporation that reduced its paid-in capital after December 31,
1986 by one or more of the methods described in subsection (a)
may
report the reduction pursuant to Section 14.30, subject to the restrictions of
subsections (b) and (c) of this Section.
(e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to forbid any reduction in
paid-in capital to be effected under Section 9.05 of this Act.
(f) In the case of a vertical merger, the paid-in capital of a subsidiary
may be eliminated if either (1) it was created, totally funded, and wholly owned
by the parent or (2) the amount of the parent's investment in the subsidiary
was equal to or exceeded the subsidiary's paid-in capital.
