Description

A Legend is a statement on a stock certificate noting restrictions on the transfer of the stock, often due to SEC requirements for unregistered securities. The Securities Act of 1933 regulates the initial sale of securities to the public. Some securities are exempt from coverage of the Act. Certain stock issue transactions are also exempt (i.e., exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission). The most common exempt transaction that close corporations take advantage of is the intrastate offering. To qualify for this exemption, both the investors and the issuer must all be residents of the same state. The issuer must also meet the following requirements: • 80% of its assets must be located in the state; • 80% of its income must be earned from operations within the state; and • 80% of the proceeds from the sale must be used on operations within the state. Also, for nine months after the issuance, the stock can only be sold to state residents. The North Dakota Statement or Legend on a Stock Certificate refers to a legal notice or restriction placed on the transfer of stock that is not registered and falls under the Intrastate Exemption rule. This description aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of this statement and its implications. When a company decides to issue stock (or shares) to raise capital, it typically prepares stock certificates to represent ownership in the company. In North Dakota, if a company issues stock that is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) due to meeting specific criteria for exemption, it must include a specific statement or legend on the stock certificate regarding the restriction on transfer. The purpose of this statement is to inform the shareholders and any potential holders of the stock about the limitations on its transferability. It serves as a legal document that the stock cannot be freely bought, sold, or transferred across state lines, as it falls within the Intrastate Exemption provision.
