15. Do treasury shares have the same rights as other shares?

Shares held in treasury do not have voting rights, and no dividends of any kind are paid in respect of them. However, if fully paid bonus shares (i.e. requiring no payment) are issued, the company will receive these in respect of any treasury shares it holds.
