Abstract:The best metrics for quantifying pledged equity is the class and ratio of pledged equity, instead of the amount of contributed capital or the number of shares. The conversion of corporate capital reserve into share capital does not change the pledged equity, the class and ratio of pledged equity before and after the conversion are identical and unaltered, and both parties don’t need to process the alteration or establishment registration. Without such registration, the validity of the pledgee's pledge after the conversion of share capital may not be weakened. The courts should adopt the approach of substance over form, respect the integrity and safety of the pledged equity. The bonus stock should be differentiated from newly issued shares, the former should be exempted from alteration registration, and the latter should process registration to create valid pledge right. The practice of registration of share pledge in public corporations confirms that the existing pledged shares automatically cover the converted share capital and bonus shares. The statutory yield theory, although aiming at protecting the pledgee, ignores the identical nature of the pledged equity before and after the conversion. The Company Law should recognize the doctrine of conservation of pledged equity, and include the amount of newly converted equity capital or bonus shares in the pledged equity. The registration authority should synchronize and update the pledged equity information on conversion of corporate capital reserve. The equity pledge registration rules and institutions should be uniformed, the fragmentation of equity pledge systems among various corporations should be ended, the mandatory registration information should be enriched, and a creditor - friendly registration information disclosure platform should be built. |
