Intended operations of treasury shares to buy back the company's shares for share repurchases or buybacks process and called on shares that are repurchased by the company's Treasury -stocks - any treasury shares.

There are many cases in which companies contribute to resort to recover part of its share capital through the purchase and whether the purchase was in cash or in kind, that of course will reduce the company's assets or to increase their commitments and in turn a decrease in property rights equally.

It should be noted that the company owns its shares does not mean that these shares have been canceled or recovered permanently.
