2.—A company of which shares or debentures are allotted or debenture stock is allotted to a stock exchange nominee, or with which a transfer is lodged for transferring any shares, debentures or debenture stock of the company to a stock exchange nominee, shall not be required in consequence of the allotment or the lodging of the transfer to complete and have ready for delivery in pursuance of section 86 (1) of the Act of 1963 the certificates of the shares or the debentures or the certificates of the debenture stock, as the case may be.
Official seals for sealing share certificates etc.
3.—(1) A company other than a private company may have, for use for sealing securities issued by the company and for sealing documents creating or evidencing securities so issued, an official seal which is a facsimile of the common seal of the company with the addition on its face of the word “Securities” or the word “Urrúis”.
(2) A company which was incorporated before the commencement of this Act and which has such an official seal as is mentioned in subsection (1) of this section may use the seal for sealing such securities and documents as are mentioned in that subsection notwithstanding anything in any instrument constituting or regulating the company or in any instrument made before such commencement which relates to any securities issued by the company, and any provision of such an instrument which requires any such securities or documents to be signed shall not apply to the securities or documents if they are sealed with that seal.

(2) Any provision of an instrument made by a company before the commencement of this Act which requires a register of holders of debentures of the company to be kept in a legible form shall be construed as requiring the register to be kept in a legible or non-legible form, provided, however, that a register kept in non-legible form shall be capable of being reproduced in legible form.
(3) If any such register or other record of a company as is mentioned in section 378 (1) of the Act of 1963 is kept by the company by recording the matters in question otherwise than in a legible form, any duty imposed on the company by virtue of that Act to allow inspection of, or to furnish a copy of, the register or other record or any part of it shall be treated as a duty to allow inspection of, or to furnish, a reproduction of the recording or of the relevant part of it in a legible form.
