A transfer of shares means that shares in a limited company change owner. It can happen through a sale, gift, inheritance or as part of a restructuring. The buyer becomes a new shareholder.
In a transfer the new owner must be entered in the share ledger with the correct entry date and share number. If the company has a transfer restriction such as a pre-emption clause, existing owners may have the right to redeem the shares first. With NVR you record the change of ownership easily and get settlement notes and an updated cap table automatically — see how.
