Share Transfer Procedure

Below is a list of the items Counsel's Chambers Limited requires in order to process a Share Transfer.

• The original Share Certificate (script).
• A form of Transfer, duly executed and signed by both parties (the transferee needs to be a person or corporation eligible to hold shares pursuant to Article 6 of CCL's Constitution). Share transfers executed after 1 July 2016 do not need to be stamped by the Stamp Duties Office.
• A letter from the Floor Secretary approving the new floor member (if applicable).

If shares are being transferred to a Company, a standard Deed between Counsel's Chambers Limited and the Company in question must be duly executed (must not be amended). If it is proposed that the shares are to be transferred to a self-managed superannuation fund, advice should be obtained.
