When you own shares in a company, you\u2019re issued with a share certificate in Singapore as proof of that membership. Share certificates are issued by the company to all shareholders.<\/p>\nWhen you own shares in a company, you\u2019re issued with a share certificate in Singapore as proof of that membership. Share certificates are issued by the company to all shareholders.<\/p>\n
In a share certificate, the document will state the number of shares issued by the company and on what date. Share certificates are only issues by private limited companies<\/a>. If a company is listed publicly, they issue electronic share certificates which will be transferred to the shareholder\u2019s Central Depository (CDP) account.<\/p>\n Share certificates in Singapore are issued by the Company Secretary<\/a>. The Company Secretary is responsible for all compliance matters relating to the company. Each certificate contains a unique, distinguishing number which is recorded in the registrar or members. The certificates must also be signed by two directors. In the case of a company with a single director, the director and Company Secretary will sign the certificate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Share certificates are issued under the company\u2019s common seal or official seal of the company. Share certificates in Singapore will contain the following details:<\/p>\n As of 31 March 2017, however, companies and LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships) will not need to use the common seal any longer. A signature of an authorised person will be sufficient.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A share certificate in Singapore is issued when the company is incorporated, and subsequently during the allotment and transfer of shares.<\/p>\n Return of allotments contain the subsequent information:<\/p>\n As per the Singapore Companies Act, the time limit for the completion and delivery of share certificates in Singapore is as follows:<\/p>\n Failure to comply with the time limit requirement is considered an offence, which the company and every company officer will be found guilty of. The penalty is a fine not exceeding S$1,000 and a default penalty.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Should this happen, the Company Secretary can provide you with a duplicate copy of your share certificate. A duplicate can be issued after a statutory declaration is received. This declaration must state that the certificate has either been destroyed or lost, and not sold or otherwise disposed of.<\/p>\n If the value of your share certificate exceeds $500, you may be asked to place an ad in the newspaper which states the certificate is either lost or destroyed, and that you intend to apply for a new one. This must be done before you can apply for a duplicate replacement. The Company Secretary will still need to prepare a DRIW to record the replacement and declare that the previous copy is void once the duplicate has been issued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Guide to Share Certificates – Issuance and Details of the Share Certificates When you own shares in a company, you\u2019re issued with a share certificate in Singapore as proof of that membership.
