CORPORATE RESOLUTION TO
INSTRUCT TRANSFER AGENT REGARDING STOCK



Transfer agents will require a Corporate Resolution be provided anytime a restrictive legend is being asked to be removed by a corporate stockholder of a US traded company. A Corporate Resolution authorizes specified officers of a company, such as the President, CEO, Vice President, or Secretary, acting in concert or individually,  to sell, assign, transfer, and/or deliver any and all of the company's securities held in the name of the company. Corporate Resolutions often contain a certification by the secretary of the company that the resolution was adopted and passed by the board of directors of the company on a specific date, and that the resolution remains in full force and effect, that it has not been repealed or amended, and does not conflict with the by-laws of the company. Below is a sample of a Corporate Resolution authorizing shares held to be dealt with for sale or transfer.. 

It is important that you contact the transfer agent and ask if they require the Corporate Resolution have particular wording.  Do not assume the transfer agent will accept the Corporate Resolution we have provided as a sample.
