48.—(1) When a member’s holding of shares of a particular class increases, the company may issue that member with—
(a)a single, consolidated certificate in respect of all the shares of a particular class which that member holds, or
(b)a separate certificate in respect of only those shares by which that member’s holding has increased.
(2) When a member’s holding of shares of a particular class is reduced, the company must ensure that the member is issued with one or more certificates in respect of the number of shares held by the member after that reduction. But the company need not (in the absence of a request from the member) issue any new certificate if—
(a)all the shares which the member no longer holds as a result of the reduction, and
(b)none of the shares which the member retains following the reduction,
were, immediately before the reduction, represented by the same certificate.
(3) A member may request the company, in writing, to replace—
(a)the member’s separate certificates with a consolidated certificate, or
(b)the member’s consolidated certificate with two or more separate certificates representing such proportion of the shares as the member may specify.
(4) When the company complies with such a request it may charge such reasonable fee as the directors may decide for doing so.
(5) A consolidated certificate must not be issued unless any certificates which it is to replace have first been returned to the company for cancellation.
