Simpler language?

"it is not entitled to calls on the unpaid issue price of shares."

What's that mean? —Felix the Cassowary 01:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It may be better to say this the other way around.

A shareholder of a partly-paid (aka contributing) share in a NL company is not liable to pay any calls if their do not want to. Tabletop (talk) 12:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mining or Exploration

It is possible that the NL phase operates only during the exploration for propects. operations.

Once the company starts mining and selling the ore, that is when the company converts to the normal Limited phase. Tabletop (talk) 12:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surely Not

Should the shareholder chose not to pay when there is a call, the shareholder forfeits both the unpaid and paid shares.

Surely the shareholder forfeits the partly paid shares, but keeps any paid shares !? Tabletop (talk) 13:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Forfeiture Notice

A typical notice only forfeits contributing shares. ^[1] On floatation, it is required that the company has 10% of its shares as fully paid. A shareholder may hold both contributing and filly paid shares.
