Document background
The Stock Transfer Request Form is a crucial document in Malaysian corporate governance, used whenever shares need to be transferred between parties in a company. It is required under the Companies Act 2016 and must be properly executed to ensure a valid transfer of shares. The form is essential for both private and public companies, though listed companies may have additional requirements under Bursa Malaysia regulations. The document must include complete details of both transferor and transferee, specific information about the shares being transferred, and appropriate declarations and signatures. It also needs to account for stamp duty requirements under the Stamp Act 1949. The form serves as the primary instrument for initiating and documenting share transfers, maintaining accurate shareholder records, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
