Full text of Arkansas Arkansas Code of 1987 Annotated § 4-27-621 — Issuance of shares., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 4-27-621. Issuance of shares.
The powers granted in this section to the board of directors may be reserved to the shareholders by the articles of incorporation. The board of directors may authorize shares to be issued for consideration consisting of money paid, labor done, or property actually received. Neither promissory notes nor the promise of future services shall constitute valid consideration for the issuance of shares. Shares having a par value may not be issued for consideration less than the par value of such shares. Before the corporation issues shares, the board of directors must determine that the consideration received or to be received for shares to be issued is adequate. That determination by the board of directors is conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of shares relates to whether the shares are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. When the corporation receives the consideration for which the board of directors authorized the issuance of shares, the shares issued therefor are fully paid and nonassessable. Shares may not be issued until the full amount of the consideration for the shares, fixed as provided by law, has been paid.
