Bolton Wanderers have reduced their share capital by £17,946,440.

What happened?

The move aims to simplify the club's share structure. Football Ventures, the club owners, passed a resolution to reduce share capital.

Why it matters for Bolton Wanderers

This change could attract new investors to aid the club's Championship challenge. BMLL Limited now holds 49.8% of the shares, followed by Sharon Brittan with 30.1%.

What comes next?

The club must prove its solvency, showing it can trade for the next 12 months. Promotion to the Championship brings £10m in TV and central distribution money.
