Minimum Shareholding
In accordance with MIL's Constitution the minimum number of shares that a shareholder may hold in the Company is ten (10) shares. When a shareholder holds less than the Minimum Holding of shares then they may not transfer any number of their shares less than the full number held. This is to avoid shareholdings becoming uneconomic. Only current shareholders can receive less than ten (10). These are the following options availabe:
- One beneficiary (pending how many shares the current shareholder holds) can receive the shares, or
- The formation of a Whanau Trust for the benefit of all descendants, or
- The sale of the shares - Buyers List available from our office
With any of the options above we will require written consent from all the entitled descendants. Consent forms can be obtained from our office.
