Notation on a share certificate

Notation on a share certificate

A notation on a share certificate means an event affecting the shares is recorded on the certificate itself.

What is a notation on a share certificate?

A notation on a share certificate (Swedish: anteckning på aktiebrev) means that an event affecting the shares is recorded directly on the share certificate. Examples include a bonus issue, a rights issue or a redemption of shares, which can change the owners' holdings.

 

Notations on certificates and in the share ledger

A notation on the share certificate does not replace the notation in the share ledger. The certificate and share ledger need to match so each share's history can be followed.
