A standard document providing a letter of indemnity for use when a shareholder's share certificate is missing or has been destroyed. This document is designed to be executed by the shareholder and addresses two primary scenarios: requesting the issuance of a duplicate certificate or asking the company to register a transfer of shares without the original certificate. It includes key provisions where the shareholder confirms their title and agrees to indemnify the company against any associated claims, losses, or liabilities.
