06.07.020 Certificates Representing Shares.
(1) Shares of a corporation may but need not be represented by certificates. Unless this Chapter or another statute expressly provides otherwise, the rights and obligations of shareholders are identical whether or not their shares are represented by certificates.
(2) At a minimum each share certificate must state on its face:
(A) The name of the issuing corporation and that it is organized under the laws of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe;
(B) The name of the person, Tribe, or organization to whom issued; and
(C) The number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents.
(3) All restrictions on the transfer of shares must be summarized on the back or front of each certificate; provided, however, that the notice described in Chapter 06.06.030(12) of this Title may be used instead.
(4) If the issuing corporation is authorized to issue different classes of shares or different series within a class, the designations, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series and the authority of the board of directors to determine variations for future series must be summarized on the front or back of each certificate. Alternatively, each certificate may state conspicuously on its front or back that the corporation will furnish the shareholder this information on request in writing and without charge.
(5) Each share certificate:
(A) Must be signed either manually or in facsimile by two officers designated in the bylaws or by the board of directors; and
(B) Must bear the corporate seal or its facsimile.
(6) If the person who signed either manually or in facsimile a share certificate no longer holds office when the certificate is issued, the certificate is nevertheless valid.
(7) No certificate shall be issued for any share until the consideration established for its issuance shall have been received by the corporation.
(8) Within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of shares without certificates, the corporation shall send the shareholder a written statement of the information required on certificates by this section.
