A transfer notice may contain a provision that unless all the shares comprised therein are sold by the Company pursuant to this Regulation, none shall be so sold and any such provision in the transfer notice shall be binding on the Company. |
(d) | If the auditor is asked to certify the fair price as aforesaid, the Company shall, as soon as it receives the auditor’s certificate, furnish a certified copy thereof to the Vendor and the Vendor shall be entitled, by notice in writing given to the Company within ten days of the service upon him of the said certified copy, to cancel the Company’s authority to sell the said shares. The cost of obtaining the certificate shall be borne by the Company unless the Vendor shall give notice of cancellation as aforesaid in which case he shall bear the said cost. |
(e) | Upon the price being fixed as aforesaid and provided the Vendor has not given notice of cancellation of the Company’s authority as aforesaid, the Company shall forthwith by notice in writing inform each member, other than the Vendor and other than members holding employees’ shares only, of the number and price of the said shares and invite each such member to apply in writing to the Company withintwenty-one days of the date of service of the notice (which date shall be specified therein) for such maximum number of the said shares (being all or any thereof) as he may wish to purchase. |
(f) | If the said members shall within the said period oftwenty-one days apply for all or (except where the transfer notice provides otherwise) any of the said shares, the Directors shall allocate the said shares (or so many of them as shall be applied for as aforesaid) to or amongst the applicants and in case of competition pro rata (as nearly as possible) according to the number of shares in the Company (other than employees’ shares) of which they are registered or unconditionally entitled to be registered as holders; provided that no applicant shall be obliged to take more than the maximum number of shares specified by him as aforesaid; and the Company shall forthwith give notice of such allocation (hereinafter called an “allocation notice”) to the Vendor and to the persons to whom the shares have been allocated and shall specify in such notice the place and time (being not earlier than fourteen and not later than twenty-eight days after the date of the notice) at which the sale of the shares so allocated shall be completed. |
- 17 -
(g) | The Vendor shall be bound to transfer the shares contained in an allocation notice to the purchasers named therein at the time and place therein specified; and if he shall fail to do so, the chairman of the Company or some other person appointed by the Directors shall be deemed to have been appointed attorney of the Vendor with full power to execute, complete and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Vendor, transfers of the shares to the purchasers thereof against payment of the price to the Company. On payment of the price to the Company the purchaser shall be deemed to have fully performed all his obligations under the purchase and on execution and delivery of the transfer the purchaser shall be entitled to insist upon his name being entered in the register of members as the holder by transfer of the shares purchased by him. The Company shall forthwith pay the price into a separate bank account in the Company’s name and shall hold such price in trust for the Vendor. |
(h) | The Vendor shall be at liberty (subject nevertheless to the provisions of Regulation 29) for the period of six months following the expiry of the said period oftwenty-one days referred to in paragraph (e) of this Regulation, to transfer to any person and at any price (not being less than the price fixed under paragraph (c) of this Regulation) any share not allocated by the Directors in an allocation notice or not transferred because of the purchaser’s failure to pay the price, as the case may be. Provided that, if the Vendor stipulated in his transfer notice that unless all the shares contained therein were sold pursuant to this Regulation, none should be so sold, the Vendor shall not be entitled, save with the written consent of all the other members of the Company, to sell hereunder only some of the shares comprised in his transfer notice. |
(i) | Any share may be transferred by a member to the spouse, child or other descendant or parent, brother or sister of that member or to a Company beneficially owned or controlled by such member; any share of a deceased member may be transferred by his personal representatives to any widow, widower, child or other descendant or parent, brother or sister of such deceased member. Shares standing in the name of the trustees of any deceased member may be transferred upon any change of trustees to the new trustees of the estate; and where the member is a body corporate any share may be transferred by such member to its subsidiary or holding company or to a company controlled by such holding company. The rights ofpre-emption hereinbefore conferred in this Regulation shall not arise on the occasion of any such transfers as aforesaid and Regulation 29 shall be read subject to this paragraph. |
(j) | Provided that it must be proved to the satisfaction of the Directors that the transfer falls bona fide within one of the exceptions of the preceding paragraph (i); and provided also that in case the transferee ceases to be a company beneficially owned or controlled by the member which is transferring as mentioned in the preceding paragraph or (in case this member is a natural person) by the spouse, child or other descendant or parent, brother or sister of this member, this transferee is bound to notify forthwith the Company in writing and tore-transfer to the transferor the said shares if the Company or any member holding more than 10% of the Company’s share capital so demands, at any time within 15 days after |
- 18 -
such demand; if the transferee refuses or fails or is unable tore-transfer the shares within a period of 15 days as from the date that the transferee was required so to do, or for any other reason there-transfer is not possible within the aforesaid15-day period, it will be deemed that the transferee has given a “transfer notice” under paragraph (c) of this regulation 35 with regard to the said shares, and despite the contrary provision of paragraph (d) of this Regulation he shall not be entitled to cancel the Company’s authority to sell the said shares. Each notice which is given to the Company by a company according to the above provisions of this paragraph, is notified by the Company immediately to every member of the Company holding more than 10% of the authorised capital of the Company. Any demand from the Company or by any other member for are-transfer of shares based on the above provisions of this paragraph cannot be given after the lapse of thirty days from the day that the Company received the notice of the Company (in case the demand is being made by the Company), or from the date the member received the notice (in case the demand is being made by a member of the Company). |
TRANSFER OF SHARES DUE TO DEATH OR BANKRUPTCY
36. | In case of the death of a member of the Company the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons. |
37. | Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member of the Company may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the Directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that member before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be. |
38. | If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he shall elect to have another person registered he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these Regulations relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice of transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice or transfer was a transfer signed by that member. |
39. | A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder shall be entitled to the same rights as regards dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company. |
- 19 -
Provided always that the Directors may at their discretion at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself as shareholder or to have the share transferred, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days from the day when the notice was given, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the share and to withhold and refrain from granting any benefits or rights connected with the shares until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

41. | The notice shall specify a new date (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. |
42. | If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may, at any time thereafter, but before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited after a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all the dividends that will have been declared in connection with the forfeited shares which have not already been paid till that forfeiture as well as any benefits or rights which are connected with the shares and which have not already been granted till the forfeiture of the said shares. |
43. | A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. |
44. | A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, together with interest on these items from the date that they became payable till their payment, at the interest rate fixed by the Directors. His liability will cease to exist if and when all the money payable to the Company will have been paid fully with interest as provided above. |
45. | A statutory declaration in writing as provided by the Law, that the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company, and that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to or have any interest in, the share. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share, and shall not be bound to check on the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings regarding the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share. |
- 20 -
46. | The provisions of these Regulations as to forfeiture shall apply in the case ofnon-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |

52. | The holders of stock shall, according to the amount of stock held by them, have the same rights, privileges and advantages as regards dividends, voting at meetings of the Company and other matters as if they held the shares from which the stock arose, but no such privilege or advantage (except participation in the dividends and profits of the Company and in the assets on winding up) shall be conferred by an amount of stock which would not, if existing in shares, have conferred that privilege or advantage. |
