When a company is liquidated, its share register (the official list of shareholders, their shareholdings, and details) doesn't automatically transfer anywhere — the company, legally
speaking, ceases to exist once liquidation is complete. However, there are a few specific mechanisms through which the information or ownership structure from that old share register can become the basis for the share register of a new entity.
The share register of the new company is populated using the same shareholder list (names, addresses, and proportions) as the old one.
But this is not an
automatic transfer — it's created by:
• Board resolution of the new company issuing shares.
Proper share allotment entries;
• Possibly a "deed of assignment" or a scheme of arrangement confirming the transfer of shareholder
Interests.
So, the new share register is a fresh legal record, but constructed from the old register by design.
Now am no legal eagle and I removed all doubt moons ago, but in my eyes that says it is possible, happy to be corrected by the likes of Looed et al..?
