Shares in a JSC may be named/registered or bearer. Each of these may be either preferred or common. The nominal price of a share may not be less than 100 Soum.
Preferred shares give their holders the priority right to receive dividends and other rights as stipulated in the JSC Law. Shares in a closed joint-stock company may be only named/registered type shares and the procedure by which they are transferred to another person must be defined by the charter. Instead of shares, closed joint-stock companies may issue certificates for an amount corresponding to the nominal value of shares.
