- renouncable documents
- On the London Stock Exchange, temporary evidence of ownership, of which there are 4 main types. When a company offers shares to the public, it sends an allotment letter to the successful applicants; if it makes a rights issue, it sends a provisional allotment letter to its shareholders, or in the case of a capitalisation issue, a renounceable certificate. All of these are in effect bearer securities and are valuable. Each includes full instructions on what the holder should do if he/she wishes to have the newly issued shares registered in his/her name, or if he/she wishes to renounce them in favour of somebody else.
