Description

FOUNDERS SHARE CERTIFICATE:
BANQUE INDUSTRIELLE de CHINE
(CHINA INDUSTRIAL BANK)
1913
BY STATUTE ONLY 3000
FOUNDERS SHARES
WERE CREATED FOR THE FIRST SHAREHOLDERS INVOLVED AT THE FOUNDATION OF THE COMPANY. THE STATUTES STIPULATED THAT NO ADDITIONAL SHARES OF THIS CLASS COULD EVER BE ISSUED.
THESE
FOUNDERS SHARES
HAD SPECIAL PRIVILEGES AND RIGHTS.
OTHER COMPANIES THAT GAVE OUT FOUNDERS SHARES LATER OFFERED GENEROUS TERMS TO EXCHANGE FOUNDERS SHARES INTO COMMON STOCK.
WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY OF THE BLUE FOUNDERS SHARES WERE EXCHANGED IN THIS WAY BUT THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN THE EXCEPTIONAL RARITY OF THIS BLUE VERSION.
FINANCED WITH FRENCH CAPITAL.
THE BLUE FOUNDERS SHARES OR "PARTs DE FONDATEUR" ARE MUCH SCARCER THAN THE ALREADY SCARCE BANK NOTES OF THIS COMPANY.
