Here’s what you need to do if you have misplaced your Share Certificates

A company’s share capital is essentially a representation of its ownership. When companies issue shares for people to purchase, they essentially transfer a part of the company’s ownership to them. When people purchase shares, they are issued share certificates. This is a document which certifies that a person has purchased a certain number of shares of the company, and serves the function of being a legally enforceable document that is proof of ownership of the shares.

Corporate organisations publish share certificate notices whenever any announcement is made which pertains to their share capital. These announcements include an issue of shares, a further issue of shares, a buyback of shares or a payout of dividend. 

However, as regards shareholders, the share certificates are extremely important documents as they are worth the portion of the company that they have purchased and will be earning dividends on. They are a certification of registered ownership of the shares purchased from the date of purchase. 

Share certificates typically contain the following information: 

  • The name and registration number of the company
  • The certificate number
  • The name of the shareholder
  • The address of the shareholder
  • The number of shares owned by the shareholder
  • The class of shares
  • The date of issue of the shares
  • The amount paid (or treated as paid) on the shares
