§ 159. Shares of stock; personal property, transfer and taxation.

Shares are deemed personal property and transferable as provided in Article 8 – Investment Securities – of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Delaware does not tax stocks or bonds owned by non-residents or by foreign corporations.

Transfers of shares made for collateral security, and not absolutely, shall be so expressed in the share register’s entry of transfer if both transferor and transferee request the corporation to do so when they request the transfer.
