You are the one who needs to take a lesson in how

You are the one who needs to take a lesson in how things work. The A/S stands for Available Shares. The A/S is anything that the company wants it to be. They can say my Available Shares is 40 billion if they want to. The next day they can take a vote to make the A/S 100 billion. If the vote passes then the AVAILABLE SHARES becomes 100 billion. NOBODY BUYS ANYTHING!!! If they want to reduce the A/S they just vote on it.

Just like a R/S (stands for Reverse Split) doesn't require anything but a vote. One day you have 10 shares and they vote in a 2 for 1 reverse split and then the next day you have 5 shares. NO MONEY CHANGES HANDS!!!

If you want to reduce the O/S (stands for Outstanding Shares) the company has to buy them from someone. They can buy them on the open market just like you and me or they can work out a deal with someone who owns shares as long as they don't break any trading rules. THEY PAY MONEY FOR THE SHARES!!!

If a company wants to raise some capital they can makes some of the A/S part of the O/S and sell those shares. They RECEIVE MONEY FOR THE SHARES!!!

And YES!! This IS how it works for the A/S...
