Share Transfer

Can you explain what a share transfer is and how it works?

Share transfers happen when a shareholder or member of a company transfers their shares to another shareholder, member, or a new person who wishes to buy them. It can be a way to sell or buy a company, or to change the ownership of shares among shareholders. Here are some important points to remember about share transfers:

  • Before the transfer of shares can take place, the directors of the company must approve the form of the instrument used to transfer the shares in writing.
  • The share transfer instrument should be executed on behalf of the transferor. However, if the shares being transferred are not paid for in full, the instrument will then be completed on behalf of both the transferor and the transferee.
  • It is crucial that the instrument is executed correctly and delivered to the company in order for the transfer to be valid.
  • A share transfer form must be filed with the Revenue Commissioners.
  • The transfer of shares will be included in the annual return filed by the company following the transfer, so there is no need to notify the Companies Registration Office separately.

Whether you’re transferring shares to sell your company, or simply looking to change the ownership of shares among shareholders, we can guide you through the process and ensure that all the necessary requirements are met.

What is meant by Allotment of Shares and What are the Relevant Rules?

When a company wants to issue new shares, it needs to comply with certain legal requirements. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • Issuing new shares can be beneficial for raising funds, bringing in new investors, or restructuring the company’s ownership structure.
  • The number of additional shares issued during the allotment must not exceed the amount of unissued authorized capital.
  • Directors of the company must ensure that the allotment of shares is carried out in accordance with the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
  • The Companies Registration Office (CRO) must be notified of any allotment of shares by submitting the Form B5 within one month of the allotment date.
  • Failure to comply with these legal requirements may result in penalties and fines.

It’s important to ensure that your company follows these regulations to avoid any legal issues or delays in the allotment process. If you’re unsure about the process or need help, it’s a good idea to consult with a professional who can guide you through the process and ensure compliance with the law.
