Company law - distributable reserves - capital - Reduction of Capital.

Reduction of Capital is a formal legal process that - subject to safeguards - transforms undistributable reserves into legally distributable amounts.

In this context, non-statutory reserves are ones that can be reduced or cancelled only by a relatively more complex two-step process.

Non-statutory reserves include merger reserves, unrealised profits, and other reserves.
