What is the difference in dilution between a capital increase through shares and through participation capital?
Antwort
A capital increase through share capital (Art. 650 et seq. CO) issues new voting shares, which dilutes the voting power of existing shareholders. A capital increase through participation capital (Art. 656a et seq. CO), by contrast, creates no voting rights, meaning existing shareholders’ control remains unchanged. Only their economic share in profits or equity may shift. This form of financing is therefore well suited for companies wishing to raise funds without transferring decision-making power.
