par value financial
"par value of each Class A share and each Class B share by US$2.399,999,990"
Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.
special resolution regulatory
"shareholders of the Company passed a special resolution with respect to share capital reduction"
A special resolution is a formal shareholder vote that requires a higher-than-normal majority—typically around three-quarters—to approve major corporate changes, such as altering the company’s governing rules, selling the business, or winding it up. It matters to investors because it signals decisive, potentially value-altering actions that cannot be passed by a simple majority; think of it as needing extra votes to change the rules of a club, so minority interests are harder to override.
FAQ
What formal step made Farmmi’s capital reduction effective?
The capital reduction became effective after registration of the special resolution with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies. Farmmi’s Form 6-K was filed to confirm that this registration occurred and that the reduction has now taken effect as described.
