IFRS 2 — Treasury share transactions and group transactions

Background

The project involves the issues that arise when a subsidiary gives its employee benefits in the form of rights to purchase shares in its parent, and when an entity must purchase its own shares to satisfy IFRS 2 Share-based Payment obligations.

The project includes the following cases:

  • A single entity that voluntarily purchases its own shares to satisfy an obligation to issue shares
  • A single entity that mandatorily purchases its own shares to satisfy an obligation to issue shares
  • A group where the subsidiary grants share options over shares in the parent
  • A group where the subsidiary grants share options over shares in the parent and the parent levies an inter-company charge
  • A group where the subsidiary grants share options over shares in the parent which it buys shares on market to satisfy
  • A group where the subsidiary grants share options over shares in the parent which it purchases shares from the parent to satisfy
  • A group where the subsidiary grants cash benefits based on the market price of the parent company shares
  • A group where employees are moved from entity to entity.
