The Purchase of Shares in Number 63 (Soroptimist) Ltd.

Individual Soroptimists, Soroptimist Clubs, National Networks and Regions from any Federation which is part of Soroptimist International and all the Federations, are eligible to purchase shares in Number 63 (Soroptimist) Limited which is a registered Community Benefit Society. Shares sales have recommenced following the adoption of a new Rule Book at a Special General Meeting of the Society held on 19 January 2019.

The shares are £5 shares with a minimum purchase of 10 shares (total minimum cost £50). The shares carry no right to any dividends or profit on dissolution and are only repayable at up to par (i.e. a maximum of £5 each) at the discretion of the directors or on death. If any shareholder ceases to be a Soroptimist before applying for repayment, their shares are forfeited back to the Society without payment.
Shares may only be transferred to another Soroptimist, Club, Region or Federation.

Current shareholders holding less than the minimum of 10 shares have a period of 1 year from 19/1/19 to increase their holding to the minimum. After that, the par value of their shares will be treated as non-voting loan stock.
