1 If the share capital is reduced, the board of directors shall notify the creditors that they may request security by registering their claims. The notice must be published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce. Applications to register claims must be made in writing, specifying the amount of and legal grounds for the claim.
2 The company must secure the creditors’ claims to the extent that the previous cover has been reduced by the capital reduction, provided the creditors request it to do so within 30 days of publication in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce.
3 The obligation to secure claims lapses if the company meets the claim or proves that there is no risk that the claim will not be met as a result of reducing the share capital. If the audit confirmation is available, it may be presumed that there is no risk that the claim will not be met.
