Stock certificates – Uncertificated shares
Official statutory text
STOCK CERTIFICATES; UNCERTIFICATED SHARES
The shares of a corporation shall be represented by
certificates, provided that the board of directors of the
corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or
all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be
uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to
shares represented by a certificate until the certificate is
surrendered to the corporation. Every holder of stock represented
by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by,
or in the name of, the corporation by any two authorized officers of
the corporation representing the number of shares registered in
certificate form. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may
be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar
who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or
registrar before the certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer,
transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. A corporation
shall not have the power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
