Nominee in a nominal certificate not entitled to have it renewed as nominal.

33. The nominee in a nominal stock certificate shall not be entitled to have the same renewed as nominal, but he shall, on delivery up of his certificate, and of all unpaid coupons belonging thereto, to the Bank of England or of Ireland by whom the certificate was issued, and on compliance with any regulation made in pursuance of this part of this Act, be entitled to receive in exchange from that Bank a stock certificate to bearer.

The nominee in a nominal stock certificate, and the bearer of a stock certificate to bearer, may, on the like delivery, and on compliance with any regulation made in pursuance of this part of this Act, require to be registered in the books of the Bank of England or of Ireland as a holder of the stock described in the certificate under which he derives title, and thereupon the stock shall be re-entered in the books kept by that Bank for the entry of transferable stock, and shall become transferable, and the dividends thereon shall be payable, as if no certificate had been issued in respect of such stock.
