New equity securities are issued either at their nominal amount, or at this amount plus an issue premium.
They are paid up either by cash contribution including by offsetting liquid and due claims on the company, or by contribution in kind, or by capitalisation of reserves, profits or issue premiums, or as a result of a merger or demerger.
They may also be paid up following the exercise of a right attached to securities giving access to the capital including, where applicable, the payment of the corresponding sums.
