What to keep in mind
The process includes checking entitlement, bylaw transfer restrictions and consistency between share certificates and registers, especially when ownership is contested.
Recording a transfer without supporting evidence can affect voting and economic rights.
Distinctions often confused
Signing a share transfer contract and making it enforceable against the company are not necessarily the same step.
Frequently asked questions
Is a private share purchase agreement enough to vote at a meeting?
Not necessarily. Share type and legal notice or registration requirements must be verified.
What if the shareholders' register has been lost?
Ownership must be reconstructed from reliable evidence, with judicial or registry intervention when appropriate.
