Where this section sits in the code
(1) Shares may but need not be represented by certificates. Unless this chapter or
another statute expressly provides otherwise, the rights and obligations of
shareholders shall be identical whether or not their shares are represented by
certificates.
(2) At a minimum each share certificate shall state on its face:
(a) The name of the issuing corporation and that it is organized under the law of
this state;
(b) The name of the person to whom issued; and
(c) The number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the
certificate represents.
(3) If the issuing corporation is authorized to issue different classes of shares or
different series within a class, the designations, relative rights, preferences, and
limitations applicable to each class a nd the variations in rights, preferences, and
limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the board of directors to
determine variations for future series) shall be summarized on the front or back of
each certificate. Alternatively, each c ertificate may state conspicuously on its front
or back that the corporation will furnish the shareholder this information on request
in writing and without charge.
(4) Each share certificate:
(a) Must be signed (either manually or in facsimile) by two (2) officers designated
in the bylaws or by the board of directors; and
(b) May bear the corporate seal or its facsimile.
(5) If the person who signed (either manually or in facsimile) a share certificate no
longer holds office when the certificate is issued, the certificate shall nevertheless
be valid.
