There is a newer version of the Connecticut General Statutes
2009 Connecticut Code
Title 33 Corporations
Chapter 601 Business Corporations
Sec. 33-680. Surrender of share certificates.
Sec. 33-680. Surrender of share certificates. The board of directors of a corporation may, from time to time, for any proper purpose, require shareholders to surrender
their share certificates in exchange for new certificates, or for the entering thereof of
an appropriate legend or notation, and may take reasonable measures to enforce such
requirement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the board of directors of
the surviving corporation in a merger, or of a corporation the certificate of incorporation
of which has been amended, may require shareholders holding share certificates which
do not reflect such merger or amendment to surrender the same in exchange for new
certificates, or for the entering thereon of an appropriate legend or notation, and may,
after written notice thereof to such shareholders, refuse to pay dividends or make other
distributions in respect of unsurrendered certificates, but in such case such dividends
and distributions shall be accumulated for the benefit of the holders thereof, but with
interest, until such certificates are so surrendered.(P.A. 94-186, S. 52, 215.)
History: P.A. 94-186 effective January 1, 1997.
