What does Shares mean?
The CA 2006 merely provides that a share is a share in the company's share capital. A company's share capital comprises the number of shares issued by it to investors either on or after incorporation. Those investors then become the shareholders in the company. A shareholder’s shares are their personal property. By contrast, the assets of a company are owned by the company itself. Owning shares does not entitle a shareholder to any property rights in the company's assets.
