(1) The amount by which a company's share capital is reduced under section 626 (reduction of capital in connection with redenomination) must be transferred to a reserve, called “the redenomination reserve”.

(2) The redenomination reserve may be applied by the company in paying up shares to be allotted to members as fully paid bonus shares.
