  shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into fully paid up shares of any
  
  denomination ;
  (d) sub-divide its shares, or any of them,
  
  into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the memorandum, so, however,

  be exercised by the company in general meeting and shall not require to be confirmed
  
  by the Court.
