For “Which capital decision are you actually making”, check whether existing authorized capital is sufficient and what corporate approvals/filings are required before increasing the ceiling.

What applies to this exact problem

You need room to issue more shares

Check whether existing authorized capital is sufficient and what corporate approvals/filings are required before increasing the ceiling.
