Rule 9A. Issue of Securities in Dematerialised form

This discussion addresses whether an unlisted public company can endorse a name change on physical share certificates for a shareholder, according to Rule 9A. The consensus is that a name change itself does not necessitate dematerialisation under Rule 9A, as the rule primarily applies to transfers, transmissions, or new issues. However, it is suggested that dematerialising the shares would be advisable if the company has already arranged for share dematerialisation with a depository.
