Registered Shares
"Can transfer of registered shares be restricted?"
Quick Answer
Registered shares are corporate shares issued in the name of a specific person and recorded in the company's share ledger. Their transfer requires endorsement and ledger registration.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Registered shares identify a holder, but transfer and company recognition depend on the share type, payment status and applicable restrictions. A share ledger entry is not a universal substitute for all transfer steps.
What to Check in Practice
Check certificates, endorsements or transfer documents, articles and required approvals before treating the buyer as fully recognised.
