(3) A purchaser of a certificated security who as a previous holder had notice of an adverse claim does not improve its position by taking from a protected purchaser.   History: En.

2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 30. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 8. Uniform Commercial Code Investment Securities|Part 3. Transfer of Certificated and Uncertificated Securities|30-8-333. Protected purchaser

  30-8-333. Protected purchaser. (1) "Protected purchaser" means a purchaser of a certificated or uncertificated security, or of an interest therein, who:   (a) gives value;   (b) does not have notice of any adverse claim to the security; and   (c) obtains control of the certificated or uncertificated security.

  30-8-334. Indorsement. (1) An indorsement may be in blank or special. An indorsement in blank includes an indorsement to bearer. A special indorsement specifies to whom a security is to be transferred or who has power to transfer it. A holder may convert a blank indorsement to a special indorsement.   (2) An indorsement purporting to be only of part of a security certificate representing units intended by the issuer to be separately transferable is effective to the extent of the indorsement.   (3) An indorsement, whether special or in blank, does not constitute a transfer until delivery of the certificate on which it appears or, if the indorsement is on a separate document, until delivery of both the document and the certificate.   (4) If a security certificate in registered form has been delivered to a purchaser without a necessary indorsement, the purchaser may become a protected purchaser only when the indorsement is supplied. However, against a transferor, a transfer is complete upon delivery and the purchaser has a specifically enforceable right to have any necessary indorsement supplied.   (5) An indorsement of a security certificate in bearer form may give notice of an adverse claim to the certificate, but it does not otherwise affect a right to registration that the holder possesses.   (6) Unless otherwise agreed, a person making an indorsement assumes only the obligations provided in 30-8-118 and not an obligation that the security will be honored by the issuer.   History: En. Sec. 50, Ch. 536, L. 1997.

(1) If an instruction has been originated by an appropriate person but is incomplete in any other respect, any person may complete it as authorized and the issuer may rely on it as completed, even though it has been completed incorrectly.   (2) Unless otherwise agreed, a person initiating an instruction assumes only the obligations imposed by 30-8-118 and not an obligation that the security will be honored by the issuer.   History: En.

(2) A person who guarantees a signature of the originator of an instruction warrants that at the time of signing:   (a) the signature was genuine;   (b) the signer was an appropriate person to originate the instruction, or if the signature is by an agent, the agent had actual authority to act on behalf of the appropriate person, if the person specified in the instruction as the registered owner was, in fact, the registered owner, as to which fact the signature guarantor does not make a warranty; and   (c) the signer had legal capacity to sign.   (3) A person who specially guarantees the signature of an originator of an instruction makes the warranties of a signature guarantor under subsection (2) and also warrants that at the time the instruction is presented to the issuer:   (a) the person specified in the instruction as the registered owner of the uncertificated security will be the registered owner; and   (b) the transfer of the uncertificated security requested in the instruction will be registered by the issuer free from all liens, security interests, restrictions, and claims other than those specified in the instruction.   (4) A guarantor under subsections (1) and (2) or a special guarantor under subsection (3) does not otherwise warrant the rightfulness of the transfer.   (5) A person who guarantees an indorsement of a security certificate makes the warranties of a signature guarantor under subsection (1) and also warrants the rightfulness of the transfer in all respects.   (6) A person who guarantees an instruction requesting the transfer of an uncertificated security makes the warranties of a special signature guarantor under subsection (3) and also warrants the rightfulness of the transfer in all respects.   (7) An issuer may not require a special guaranty of signature, a guaranty of indorsement, or a guaranty of instruction as a condition to registration of transfer.   (8) The warranties under this section are made to a person taking or dealing with the security in reliance on the guaranty, and the guarantor is liable to the person for loss resulting from their breach. An indorser or originator of an instruction whose signature, indorsement, or instruction has been guaranteed is liable to a guarantor for any loss suffered by the guarantor as a result of breach of the warranties of the guarantor.

  30-8-413. 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:   (a) the person who initiated the demand at the address provided in the demand; and   (b) the person who presented the security for registration of transfer or initiated the instruction requesting registration of transfer a notification stating that:   (i) the certificated security has been presented for registration of transfer or the instruction for registration of transfer of the uncertificated security has been received;   (ii) a demand that the issuer not register transfer had previously been received; and   (iii) 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)(b)(iii) may not exceed 30 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.   History: En. Sec. 56, Ch. 536, L. 1997.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in 30-8-416, 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 30-8-413(1) and the issuer did not comply with 30-8-413(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 30-8-220.   (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.

(1) 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 30-8-220. 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.
