The Share Transfer Certificate is a crucial document in Maltese corporate transactions, required whenever shares in a Maltese company are transferred between parties. It serves as official evidence of the share transfer and must comply with the Companies Act (Cap. 386) of Malta, as well as any applicable EU regulations. The document is essential for updating the company's share register, satisfying regulatory requirements, and maintaining proper corporate records. It must include specific details such as the number and class of shares being transferred, the identities of both transferor and transferee, and the consideration paid. The certificate also plays a vital role in demonstrating compliance with stamp duty obligations and anti-money laundering regulations. Companies must ensure that the Share Transfer Certificate is properly executed and maintained as part of their corporate records, as it may be required for future due diligence, audits, or regulatory inspections.
