A company may transfer its assets and liabilities to several existing companies or to several new companies by way of a demerger.
This option is open to companies in liquidation provided that the distribution of their assets between the partners has not been the subject of a start on execution.
The shareholders of companies that transfer their assets in this way receive shares in the beneficiary companies and, where applicable, a cash payment, the amount of which may not exceed 10% of the nominal value of the shares allocated.
