Title
Belgium : Corporate law - Transfers Of Shares Under Belgian Law
(De Bandt, van Hecke & Lagae).
Source
Business Monitor; 19 May 1995.
Text
Belgian Company Laws recognise three forms of shares, i.e.,
registered shares, bearer shares and dematerialised shares.
The possibility to issue dematerialised shares has recently been
authorised by Company Laws. It is anticipated that dematerialised
shares will be issued by many large companies in the coming
months or years. Transfers of dematerialised shares occur through
changes in the accounts of the shareholders by crediting and
debiting their respective accounts.
Bearer shares are represented by printed certificates issued by
the company at hand. Bearer shares can only be issued provided
that the shares have been fully paid in. Transfers of bearer
shares are effected through the physical delivery of the shares
by the transferor to the transferee. The certificates must be
handed over to the new owner. The possession of the certificates
evidences the ownership of the shares.
Transfers of registered shares can only be effected by complying
with the one of the procedures foreseen by the Company Laws.
(a) The first procedure consists of making two entries in the
stock register of the company at hand. The transferor and the
transferee (or their duly appointed representatives) must
themselves record the transfer in the stock register by means of
a signed entry stating that the transferor transfers the shares
to the transferee and another signed entry stating that the
transferee accepts such transfer.
(b) The second procedure also consists of two entries made in the
stock register of the company at hand, but this time made by the
Board of Directors of the company whose shares are transferred.
Provided that the Board of Directors is shown sufficient evidence
that a transfer of registered shares occurred, it may validly
record the transfer in the stock register of the company by way
of two entries, one showing that the transferor has delivered the
shares and the other showing that the transferee has received the
shares.
(c) The third procedure is to formally notify the company that a
transfer occurred. Representatives of the company will then
record the transfer in the stock register by making two entries
as explained under (b).
The transfer of registered shares is enforceable vis-a-vis third
parties only from the moment it has been recorded in the stock
register. Rights attached to the shares (e.g., voting rights,
right to dividends) remain with the person listed as shareholder
in the stock register until the transfer is recorded and the name
of a new shareholder appears.
The content of this article is intended to provide general
information on the subject matter. It is therefore not a
