Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Certificate of Incorporation of a Swiss GmbH/Private Company Limited by Shares
German term or phrase: versprochene Einlagen
Hi,

As every legal-financial translator knows, Einlagen are capital contributions. I understand that these are first subscribed to by the founding shareholders and then, subsequently, paid in.

Does this imply that

DE:
versprochene Einlagen

means

EN:
capital contributions subscribed?

Context DE:
Sämtliche 100 Stammanteile der Gesellschaft im Nennwert von je CHF 50.00 sind gültig gezeichnet.
2.2
Die ***versprochenen Einlagen*** von total CHF 5'000.00 entsprechen dem gesamten Ausgabebetrag.
2.3
Die Einzahlung des Stammkapitals erfolgte im Sinne von Art. 777c i.V.m. Art. 633 OR.
2.4
Die gesetzlichen und statutarischen Anforderungen an die Leistung der Einlagen sind erfüllt.
2.5
Es bestehen keine statutarischen Nachschuss- oder Nebenleistungspflichten.

Just wondering ...

Best regards,

contributions pledged
Explanation:
literally, ones promised to be paid in - as 'calls paid up' - by the company promoters/ founders who have pledged, undertaken or - dare I say - vowed to do so.

The Zeichnungen/ subscriptions - 'Stammanteile gezeichnet' - are a prior (?), separate matter. The company will not call for payment of those ord. shares as the contribs. have already been 'promised' or 'assured'

  -> Thanks. Nowadays in the UK, donations 'pledged' to charity often means promised, but rarely 'coughed up' by the would-be donors.

  -> Thanks and danke schön! Alas, I couldn't find any KudoZ precedent from you to quote.
