Issued shares

In economics and law, issued shares are the shares of a corporation which have been allocated (allotted) and are subsequently held by shareholders.[1][2] The act of creating new issued shares is called issuance. Allotment is simply the transfer of shares to a subscriber. After allotment, a subscriber becomes a shareholder, though usually that also requires formal entry in a share registry.[3]
