Spanish term or phrase: tomar una accion
Does "tomar una accion" refer to the purchase of a share or is there another way of acquiring shares apart from
buying them? This is the context......"En el momento de tomar una accion debe desembolsarse el valor nominal de la misma".

Thank you for any help

The institutional shareholder which had given irrevocable commitments to take up 727,000 Mackie International shares under the rights issue has now done so. On Thursday, the company had announced that the block of shares had not been taken up because of an "administrative oversight".
