Subject to the provisions of Articles 772 and 773 of this Uniform Act, the pledge of transferable
securities registered in an account shall be effected, with respect to both the issuing corporate
person and third parties, by a statement dated and signed by the holder of the securities. The
statement shall contain the amount of money due as well as the amount and nature of the
securities pledged.
The secured bonds shall be transferred into a special account opened in the name of the holder
of the securities and kept by the issuing corporate person or the financial broker, as the case
may be.
A certificate of pledge shall be issued to the pledgee.
In case of a collective action for the wiping off of debts of the intermediary financial broker
who keeps the account, the holders of the securities entered in the account shall have all their
rights transferred into an account kept by another financial broker or by the issuing corporate
person.
The competent court shall be informed of such transfer. Where the entries in the account are
insufficient, the holders of the securities shall make a declaration thereof to the representative
of the creditors for their rights to be supplemented.
The pledge of registered securities provided for in Article 764 1) below shall be carried out by
registration in the transfer registers of the company. The same shall apply in the case of
sequestration of goods.
