Attorney General Interprets Capital Stock Limits in General Law
The Attorney General states that general law requiring full capital stock payment is read to allow only paid-in shares as authorized by the board. The 1894 statute concerns issuing shares, not fixing capital stock, which is a legal limit set by charter or law. A Massachusetts company may issue shares as the board authorizes, with proper payment, avoiding personal liability for directors or stockholders.
