KRS 355.8-304: Indorsement.

Read at publisher ↗
Where this section sits in the code

    (1) An indorsement may be in blank or special. An indorsement in blank includes an

    indorsement to bearer. A special indorsement specifies to whom a security is to be

    transferred or who has power to transfer it. A holder may convert a blank

    indorsement to a special indorsement.

    (2) An indorsement purporting to be only of part of a security certificate representing

    units intended by the issuer to be separately transferable is effective to the extent of

    the indorsement.

    (3) An indorsement, whether special or in bl ank, does not constitute a transfer until

    delivery of the certificate on which it appears or, if the indorsement is on a separate

    document, until delivery of both the document and the certificate.

    (4) If a security certificate in registered form has been d elivered to a purchaser without

    a necessary indorsement, the purchaser may become a protected purchaser only

    when the indorsement is supplied. However, against a transferor, a transfer is

    complete upon delivery and the purchaser has a specifically enforcea ble right to

    have any necessary indorsement supplied.

    (5) An indorsement of a security certificate in bearer form may give notice of an

    adverse claim to the certificate, but it does not otherwise affect a right to registration

    that the holder possesses.

    (6) Unless otherwise agreed, a person making an indorsement assumes only the

    obligations provided in KRS 355.8 -108 and not an obligation that the security will

    be honored by the issuer.
