🚨 SEC UPDATE FOR CORPORATIONS! 🚨

Increasing your Company's authorized capital stock is now more streamlined.

Under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 6, Series of 2026, the SEC has expanded the use of a notarized Subscription Contract in lieu of a Special Audit Report for cash subscriptions, removing the ₱50,000,000 paid-up capital threshold.

Corporations now generally need only a notarized Subscription Contract signed by:
1. the subscriber(s);
2. President, and
3. Treasurer (or a duly authorized officer).

📌 However, a Special Audit Report is still required for:
1. Listed companies
2. Public companies
3. Companies offering securities to the public
4. Companies with SEC secondary licenses

📩 For guidance on how this circular applies to your corporation or for assistance in preparing and filing your increase in authorized capital stock, please feel free to contact our Firm.
