DELINQUENT SUBSCRIPTIONS
When a subscriber could not pay his subscription aer the corporation has issued a notice calling
for the uncollected balance, the subscriber is said to be delinquent. It should be noted, however, that
the subscriber is declared delinquent only aer a proper call has been made by the corporation.
A call is a declaration officially made by a corporation usually expressed in the form of a resolution
of the Board of Directors requiring the payment of all or a certain prescribed portion of a subscriber’s
stock subscription.
e corporation may collect from the defaulting subscriber by action in court or by selling the
delinquent shares in a public auction. Should the corporation decide to take the second alternative
course of action, then the corporation must sell as many of the delinquent shares as may be necessary
to the highest bidder.
e highest bidder is the person offering at such sale to pay the unpaid subscription, with interest
accrued, together with expenses of advertising and costs of sale, for the smallest number of shares of
fraction of a share.
Suppose there are no bidders? In such a case, the corporation may purchase for itself its delinquent
shares resulting to a treasury stock transaction.
Accordingly, the delinquent subscriber is released from liability of his unpaid subscription, but he
shall not be entitled for any number of shares in his subscription as provided by the law.
