Despite anything in its constitution, a private company must not lodge a transfer of shares unless a proper instrument of transfer has been delivered to the company, but this section does not affect any power to lodge a notice of transfer of shares in respect of any person to whom the right to any shares of the company has been transmitted by operation of law.
Where there has been a transfer of shares, a private company must lodge with the Registrar notice of that transfer of shares in the prescribed form.
A transfer of any share in a private company on or after 3 January 2016 does not take effect until the electronic register of members of the company is updated by the Registrar under section 196A(5).
