Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have lost their share certificates may need this indemnity to protect themselves from potential claims against the corporation. By providing this document, they can ensure that they are not held liable for any issues that arise from the loss of the certificate.
  • Situations requiring the replacement of a share certificate often involve shareholders needing to prove ownership while the original certificate is lost. This indemnity serves as a safeguard for the corporation, allowing the shareholder to continue exercising their rights without the original document.
  • For those who have misplaced their share certificates, this indemnity can facilitate the process of obtaining a new certificate. It assures the corporation that the shareholder is committed to returning the original certificate if it is found, thus protecting the corporation from any potential disputes.
  • Companies may require this indemnity when a shareholder reports a lost certificate to ensure they are not exposed to claims related to the lost shares. This document provides a clear record of the shareholder's declaration and the corporation's protection.
  • In cases where a shareholder's certificate has been destroyed, this indemnity is crucial for initiating the process of issuing a replacement. It provides legal backing for the corporation, ensuring that they are indemnified against any future claims regarding the lost shares.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the shareholder has already transferred or sold the shares associated with the lost certificate. In such cases, the indemnity would not be valid as the ownership has changed.
