Can Unpaid Shares Be Sold?
Unpaid shares, sometimes referred to as unpaid stock or partially paid shares, are shares that an organisation has issued but for which the shareholders have not yet made full payment. Unpaid shares may occasionally result from shareholders failing to pay the required amount for their shares. Unpaid shares are handled and perhaps sold based on corporate policy, applicable laws, and shareholder agreements. In general, until the shareholder has made the whole payment, unpaid shares cannot be sold or transferred to a third party. The company may contain particular clauses describing the repercussions of non-payment or default on share payments in its articles of association or shareholder agreements. These provisions may outline the steps the company can take to recover the unpaid shares or cancel the shares.
