Overissue
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) In this chapter, “overissue” means
the issue of securities in excess of the amount that the issuer has
corporate power to issue, but an overissue does not occur if appropriate action has cured the overissue.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in subs. (3) and (4), the provisions of this chapter which validate a security or compel its issue or reissue do not apply to the extent that validation, issue or
reissue would result in overissue.
(3) If an identical security not constituting an overissue is reasonably available for purchase, a person entitled to issue or validation may compel the issuer to purchase the security and deliver
it if certificated or register its transfer if uncertificated, against
surrender of any security certificate the person holds.
(4) If a security is not reasonably available for purchase, a
person entitled to issue or validation may recover from the issuer
the price that the person or the last purchaser for value paid for it
with interest from the date of the person’s demand.
