27-1-7-5. Stock Certificate; Contents; Transferability

Sec. 5. In the case of a stock company, every shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate, or other evidence of stock ownership, signed by the president or a vice president and by the secretary or an assistant secretary, which shall state the name of the registered holder, the number of shares represented thereby and the par value of each share. Where such certificate is also signed by a transfer agent or registrar, or both, the signatures of any such president, vice president, secretary or assistant secretary may be facsimiled. The shares represented thereby shall be transferable on the books of the company in such manner and under such regulations, not inconsistent with the laws of this state relating to the transfer of shares of stock in corporations, as may be provided in the by-laws. If such company is authorized to issue shares of more than one (1) class, every certificate shall state the kind and class of shares represented thereby, and the relative rights, interests, preferences and restrictions of such class, or a summary thereof.
