Each capital certificate shall when issued state upon the face thereof:(1)
The name of the member to whom issued.(2)
The amount of the member’s capital contribution evidenced by such certificate.(3)
If appropriate, that the corporation is a non-charitable corporation, and that its certificate of incorporation provides that the capital certificate is transferable to other members with the consent of the corporation.(4)
The fact that the corporation is a not-for-profit corporation, and that the capital certificate is non-transferable or is transferable to other members, with the consent of the corporation, shall be noted conspicuously on the face or back of each such certificate.
