17 Aug 1934: Coltness Iron Co., Ltd. — At an extraordinary general meeting, held last Friday, it was resolved to reduce the capital of the company by cancelling the uncalled liability of 5s. per share on each of the existing £1 ordinary shares, making these shares 15s. each, fully paid. As the sanction of the court, however, must now be obtained it will, it is stated, be some considerable time before this reduction of capital can take effect. A further intimation will be made in due course. It was further resolved to increase the capital of the company to the present authorised amount of £1,287,500 by the creation of 262,500 ordinary shares of 15s, each, to be issued on such terms and conditions as the company may subsequently determine.

21 Sep 1934: Coltness Iron Co., Ltd. — The directors have declared an interim dividend on the ordinary shares of 7½d. per share, less tax, for the year ending December 31, 1934.
