An issuer may require the following assurance that each necessary indorsement or each instruction is genuine and authorized:   a. in all cases, a guaranty of the signature of the person making an indorsement or originating an instruction including, in the case of an instruction, reasonable assurance of identity;   b. if the indorsement is made or the instruction is originated by an agent, appropriate assurance of actual authority to sign;   c. if the indorsement is made or the instruction is originated by a fiduciary pursuant to section 554.8107, subsection 1, paragraph “d” or “e”, appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency;   d. if there is more than one fiduciary, reasonable assurance that all who are required to sign have done so; and   e. if the indorsement is made or the instruction is originated by a person not covered by another provision of this subsection, assurance appropriate to the case corresponding as nearly as may be to the provisions of this subsection.   2.

2021 Iowa Code|Title XIII - COMMERCE|Chapter 554 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Section 554.8403 - Demand that issuer not register transfer.

554.8403 Demand that issuer not register transfer.   1. A person who is an appropriate person to make an indorsement or originate an instruction may demand that the issuer not register transfer of a security by communicating to the issuer a notification that identifies the registered owner and the issue of which the security is a part and provides an address for communications directed to the person making the demand. The demand is effective only if it is received by the issuer at a time and in a manner affording the issuer reasonable opportunity to act on it.   2. If a certificated security in registered form is presented to an issuer with a request to register transfer or an instruction is presented to an issuer with a request to register transfer of an uncertificated security after a demand that the issuer not register transfer has become effective, the issuer shall promptly communicate to the person who initiated the demand at the address provided in the demand and the person who presented the security for registration of transfer or initiated the instruction requesting registration of transfer a notification stating that:   a. the certificated security has been presented for registration of transfer or the instruction for registration of transfer of the uncertificated security has been received;   b. a demand that the issuer not register transfer had previously been received; and   c. the issuer will withhold registration of transfer for a period of time stated in the notification in order to provide the person who initiated the demand an opportunity to obtain legal process or an indemnity bond.   3. The period described in subsection 2, paragraph “c”, may not exceed thirty days after the date of communication of the notification. A shorter period may be specified by the issuer if it is not manifestly unreasonable.   4. An issuer is not liable to a person who initiated a demand that the issuer not register transfer for any loss the person suffers as a result of registration of a transfer pursuant to an effective indorsement or instruction if the person who initiated the demand does not, within the time stated in the issuer’s communication, either:   a. obtain an appropriate restraining order, injunction, or other process from a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining the issuer from registering the transfer; or   b. file with the issuer an indemnity bond, sufficient in the issuer’s judgment to protect the issuer and any transfer agent, registrar, or other agent of the issuer involved from any loss it or they may suffer by refusing to register the transfer.   5. This section does not relieve an issuer from liability for registering transfer pursuant to an indorsement or instruction that was not effective.

554.8404 Wrongful registration.   1. Except as otherwise provided in section 554.8406, an issuer is liable for wrongful registration of transfer if the issuer has registered a transfer of a security to a person not entitled to it, and the transfer was registered:   a. pursuant to an ineffective indorsement or instruction;   b. after a demand that the issuer not register transfer became effective under section 554.8403, subsection 1, and the issuer did not comply with section 554.8403, subsection 2;   c. after the issuer had been served with an injunction, restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it from registering the transfer, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the issuer had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order, or other legal process; or   d. by an issuer acting in collusion with the wrongdoer.   2. An issuer that is liable for wrongful registration of transfer under subsection 1 on demand shall provide the person entitled to the security with a like certificated or uncertificated security, and any payments or distributions that the person did not receive as a result of the wrongful registration. If an overissue would result, the issuer’s liability to provide the person with a like security is governed by section 554.8210.   3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 1 or in a law relating to the collection of taxes, an issuer is not liable to an owner or other person suffering loss as a result of the registration of a transfer of a security if registration was made pursuant to an effective indorsement or instruction.

If an owner of a certificated security, whether in registered or bearer form, claims that the certificate has been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the issuer shall issue a new certificate if the owner:   a. so requests before the issuer has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser;   b. files with the issuer a sufficient indemnity bond; and   c. satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the issuer.   2. If, after the issue of a new security certificate, a protected purchaser of the original certificate presents it for registration of transfer, the issuer shall register the transfer unless an overissue would result. In that case, the issuer’s liability is governed by section 554.8210. In addition to any rights on the indemnity bond, an issuer may recover the new certificate from a person to whom it was issued or any person taking under that person, except a protected purchaser.

554.8501 Securities account — acquisition of security entitlement from securities intermediary.   1. “Securities account” means an account to which a financial asset is or may be credited in accordance with an agreement under which the person maintaining the account undertakes to treat the person for whom the account is maintained as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise the financial asset.   2. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5, a person acquires a security entitlement if a securities intermediary:   a. indicates by book entry that a financial asset has been credited to the person’s securities account;   b. receives a financial asset from the person or acquires a financial asset for the person and, in either case, accepts it for credit to the person’s securities account; or   c. becomes obligated under other law, regulation, or rule to credit a financial asset to the person’s securities account.   3. If a condition of subsection 2 has been met, a person has a security entitlement even though the securities intermediary does not itself hold the financial asset.   4. If a securities intermediary holds a financial asset for another person, and the financial asset is registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially indorsed to the other person, and has not been indorsed to the securities intermediary or in blank, the other person is treated as holding the financial asset directly rather than as having a security entitlement with respect to the financial asset.   5.

554.8503 Property interest of entitlement holder in financial asset held by securities intermediary.   1. To the extent necessary for a securities intermediary to satisfy all security entitlements with respect to a particular financial asset, all interests in that financial asset held by the securities intermediary are held by the securities intermediary for the entitlement holders, are not property of the securities intermediary, and are not subject to claims of creditors of the securities intermediary, except as otherwise provided in section 554.8511.   2. An entitlement holder’s property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under subsection 1 is a pro rata property interest in all interests in that financial asset held by the securities intermediary, without regard to the time the entitlement holder acquired the security entitlement or the time the securities intermediary acquired the interest in that financial asset.   3. An entitlement holder’s property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under subsection 1 may be enforced against the securities intermediary only by exercise of the entitlement holder’s rights under sections 554.8505 through 554.8508.   4. a. An entitlement holder’s property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under subsection 1 may be enforced against a purchaser of the financial asset or interest therein only if:   (1) insolvency proceedings have been initiated by or against the securities intermediary;   (2) the securities intermediary does not have sufficient interests in the financial asset to satisfy the security entitlements of all of its entitlement holders to that financial asset;   (3) the securities intermediary violated its obligations under section 554.8504 by transferring the financial asset or interest therein to the purchaser; and   (4) the purchaser is not protected under subsection 5.   b. The trustee or other liquidator, acting on behalf of all entitlement holders having security entitlements with respect to a particular financial asset, may recover the financial asset, or interest therein, from the purchaser. If the trustee or other liquidator elects not to pursue that right, an entitlement holder whose security entitlement remains unsatisfied has the right to recover its interest in the financial asset from the purchaser.   5. An action based on the entitlement holder’s property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under subsection 1, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien, or other theory, may not be asserted against any purchaser of a financial asset or interest therein who gives value, obtains control, and does not act in collusion with the securities intermediary in violating the securities intermediary’s obligations under section 554.8504.  96 Acts, ch 1138, §50, 84; 2012 Acts, ch 1023, §157  Referred to in §554.8104
