Transferor, Transferee, Transmittee
Transcript:
Hello!
Transferor, Transferee and Transmittee are important words when speaking about the shares owned in a company. Make sure that the difference is clear to you.
Transferor: The person who makes a transfer of property is called the “Transferor” (cedente). Shares can therefore be sold and move from the Transferor to the Transferee.
Transferee: The person to whom a transfer of property is made is called the “Transferee” (cessionario). Shares can therefore be bought and move from the old owner to the Transferee who will take ownership.
N.B.: The process of moving shares from a Transferor to a Transferee is called the “transfer of shares”.
Transmittee: When speaking about shares, the “Transmittee” means a person entitled to shares by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a shareholder by operation of law. Note that the Transmittee is not the owner of the shares, and may even decide to transmit ownership to a third party without ever taking ownership.
The Transmittee is however fully entitled to the shares, should he or she wish to take ownership.
N.B.: When the “transfer” of shares happens due to the operation of law in cases of death, bankruptcy or other, it is referred to as the “transmission of shares”.
