What is a Share Pledge, and What Does it Involve?

The pledge provides security in terms of performance by transferring a movable property from pledger to pledgee. Therefore, anything considered movable property can be pledged, even an instrument.

In the case of a share pledge, the share certificate is not pledged property but what is pledged is the right to that share. A share certificate is only a certificate that certifies the right over that share to the owner.

There are specific requirements for the share pledge as prescribed under the Civil and Commercial Code (“CCC”), including:

In practice, the share pledge is used as security for collateral. The Pledger gets the money, and the Pledgee gets the right over such pledged share. While the shares are pledged, the dividend is still paid to the shareholders.
