2.29. | Treasury Shares |
The Company’s own equity instruments reacquired are recorded under “Treasury Shares” within shareholders’ equity at their acquisition price. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of its own equity instruments.
When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase to equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recorded in retained earnings. Voting rights related to treasury shares are nullified for the Company and no dividends are allocated to them.
