Cancellation of a lost share certificate

Cancellation of a lost share certificate

Cancellation of a lost share certificate means it is declared void so that a new one can be issued.

What is cancellation of a lost share certificate?

Cancellation of a lost share certificate (Swedish: dödande av aktiebrev) is a procedure for declaring void a missing share certificate, for example after loss or theft. The application is made to Bolagsverket, and the procedure includes a public notice asking any holder of the certificate to come forward.

 

After the cancellation

Once the certificate has been cancelled, the company can issue a new certificate to the shareholder. This should be reflected in the share ledger, so there is no doubt about which certificate is valid.
