Section 11-107 - Transition provisions as to uncertificated securities(1) The persons shown on the books of the issuer as the holders of uncertificated securities outstanding when this Act becomes effective shall be deemed to be the registered owners thereof. Prior to the 90th day after this Act takes effect, the issuer of any uncertificated security outstanding when this Act takes effect shall send to the registered owner a written statement containing: (a) A description of the issue of which the uncertificated security is a part;(b) The number of shares or other units owned by the registered owner;(c) The name and address and (if known to the issuer) any taxpayer identification number of the registered owner;(d) A notation of any liens or restrictions of the issuer and any adverse claims (as to which the issuer has a duty under Section 8-403(d)) to which the uncertificated security is or may be subject at the time when the statement is prepared or a statement that there are no such liens, restrictions or adverse claims; and(e) The date the statement was prepared. Statements sent pursuant to this subsection shall be signed by or on behalf of the issuer; shall be identified as "initial transaction statement"; and shall be deemed to be initial transaction statements for the purposes of Article 8 of the Revised Uniform Commercial Code.
(2) If a security interest in an uncertificated security outstanding prior to January 1, 1984, is perfected or has priority as to all persons or as to certain persons when this Act takes effect by virtue of the previous filing of a financing statement, and if other acts would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under the Revised Uniform Commercial Code, the perfection and priority rights of the security interest shall continue and shall lapse on the date provided by the Prior Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not a continuation statement is filed with respect to such security interest) unless the security interest is perfected in accordance with the Revised Uniform Commercial Code.(3) If an issuer's lien or restriction on an uncertificated security outstanding prior to January 1, 1984, or a term of such a security is valid and effective against all persons or against certain persons when this Act takes effect, and if the notation of such lien, restriction or term on an initial transaction statement would be required for its validity or effectiveness against those persons under the Revised Uniform Commercial Code, such lien, restriction or term shall remain valid and effective until the earlier of (i) the time when an initial transaction statement is sent by the issuer to the registered owner (after which the validity and effectiveness of the lien, restriction or term shall be governed by the Revised Uniform Commercial Code), or (ii) 3 years from the effective date of this Act. If an initial transaction statement is not sent to the registered owner of an uncertificated security outstanding when this Act takes effect within 3 years after this Act takes effect, any issuer's lien required to be noted thereon shall cease to be valid, and any restriction or term required to be noted thereon shall cease to be effective except as to those persons against whom an unnoted restriction or term would be effective under Article 8 of the Revised Uniform Commercial Code.64 Del.
