Statute Text
Overissue.
(1) In
this section, overissue means the issue of securities in excess of the amount
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 subsections (3) and (4) of this section, the provisions
of this chapter that 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 the person or the last
purchaser for value paid for it with interest from the date of the persons
demand. [1995 c.328 §26]
