Bearer shares can be converted into registered shares and vice versa. Bearer Share Basics: bearer shares are legal instruments denoting company ownership; however, they are not the same as stock certificates. Usually, the legal shareholders of a limited company are those persons whose names appear on the corporation's official shareholders list, or register. These shareholders may, or may not, be issued a tangible stock certificate that they may possess. Many UK residents have never heard of bearer shares. The trick behind bearer shares, however, is that they must be issued properly by a qualified and knowledgeable corporate Director. How bearer shares are supposed to work: normally, when you fill out the back of a stock certificate, you must print the name or the company name of who owns that stock. Then you must record in the stock ledger the shareholder, address, date, number of shares, and if it was an original issue or a transfer. Obviously, whomever the stock is issued to is the owner of the company. If it is to the bearer, then whoever holds that certificate at a particular moment, will thereby be considered the owner of the company. If you are interested in learning more about the formation of a company with the bearer shares incorporation service, please feel free to visit the UK company with bearer shares section of our main website. |   The advantages of bearer shares are privacy and ease of transfer. A company with only bearer shares has no shareholders list or register. Therefore it is impossible to know for certain who the shareholders of the company are. Because a transfer of the shares can be made by simply handing them to another person, bearer shares can be transferred more easily than non-bearer shares.
Subject to any restrictions for the time being imposed by law, the Directors on behalf of the company shall have the power of issuing share warrants to bearer, in respect of fully-paid shares, stating that the bearer is entitled to the shares specified in the warrants, as conferred by Section 188 of the Act, and may determine and from time to time vary.
The conditions under which share warrants to bearer may be issued and replaced : these provide that no fresh warrant shall be issued except on proof, to the satisfaction of the Directors, that the original warrant has been destroyed.
The conditions under which a share warrant may be surrendered and the name of the bearer entered in the register in respect of the shares specified in the warrant : the bearer of a share warrant shall be subject to the conditions relating to share warrants for the time being in force, whether made before or after its issue, but, subject to those conditions and to the provisions of the Act, the bearer of a share warrant shall be deemed to be a holder of the shares specified in it for all the purposes of the company.
