Question

Is a capital increase without the issuance of new shares in scope of article 26(3)?

Background

A capital increase without the issuance of new shares does not create new instruments, but increases the capital value of the existing shares. Do the requirements of art 26 (3) (regarding approval or notification) also apply to this type of capital increase, since no instruments are issued?
