A beneficial owner is a person who enjoys the benefits of ownership, even though the title is in another name.
A share transfer form in which the name of the transferee and the transfer date are left blank. The form is signed by the registered holder of the shares so that the holder of the blank transfer has only to fill in the missing details to become the registered owner of the shares. Blank transfers can be deposited with a bank, when shares are being used as a security for a loan. A blank transfer can also be used when shares are held by nominees with the beneficial owner holding the blank transfer.
