* Bearer shares – Are a legal instrument denoting company ownership, and are usually in the form of share warrants.
A share warrant is a document which states that the bearer of the warrant is entitled to the shares stated in it.
These warrants are easily transferable without any need for a transfer document ; that is, they can simply be passed from hand to hand.
When share warrants are issued, the company must strike out the name of the shareholder from its register of members and state the date of issue of the warrant and the number of shares to which it relates.
description of " share warrants " might only be applicable to the UK, because it seems to be at odds with practices in Australia and the USA.
