Usually, shares are issued in [[registered form]] (as opposed to [[bearer security|bearer]] form), because it is sort of important to know who — you know — ''owns the goddamn company''. Whereas your [[creditors]], on the other hand — could you really give a fig about them? Well, obviously you could, but as a general category, when you have issued that indebtedness in the form of [[Bearer instrument|freely transferable]] [[debt securities]], it is that fact that ''someone'' holds them that mainly concerns you, rather than precisely ''who''. | ||
