Indorsement
Official statutory text
Indorsement.
(a) An indorsement may be in blank or special. An indorsement
in blank includes an indorsement to bearer. A special indorsement
specifies to whom a security is to be transferred or who has power
to transfer it. A holder may convert a blank indorsement to a
special indorsement.
(b) An indorsement purporting to be only of part of a security
certificate representing units intended by the issuer to be
separately transferable is effective to the extent of the
indorsement.
(c) An indorsement, whether special or in blank, does not
constitute a transfer until delivery of the certificate on which it
appears or, if the indorsement is on a separate document, until
delivery of both the document and the certificate.
(d) If a security certificate in registered form has been
delivered to a purchaser without a necessary indorsement, the
purchaser may become a protected purchaser only when the indorsement
is supplied. However, against a transferor, a transfer is complete
upon delivery and the purchaser has a specifically enforceable right
to have any necessary indorsement supplied.
(e) An indorsement of a security certificate in bearer form may
give notice of an adverse claim to the certificate, but it does not
otherwise affect a right to registration that the holder possesses.
(f) Unless otherwise agreed, a person making an indorsement
assumes only the obligations provided in Section 8-108 of this title
and not an obligation that the security will be honored by the
issuer.
