FAQ
Authorized shares are the maximum number of shares that a company is permitted to issue to investors, as laid out in its articles of incorporation. Outstanding shares are the actual shares issued or sold to investors from the available number of authorized shares.
If it does occur, a company has breached any agreement with those investors, employees or other parties that have been “issued” the excess shares. In addition to any conflict with these potential recipients, such over-issuances are often complex (but not impossible) to correct under state law.
They are “authorized” because they fall within the maximum number of shares a company can sell ing to its corporate charter. They are “issued” because they have been sold. They are “outstanding” because they have been sold to the public (not to the owners or managers of the company).
Can a Company Issue More Shares Than Authorized? No. A company is limited to issuing only the quantity of shares it's authorized to issue.
The term “authorized, issued and outstanding” refers to shares in a company that have been sold publicly. They are “authorized” because they fall within the maximum number of shares a company can sell ing to its corporate charter. They are “issued” because they have been sold.
Authorized stock is the max amount of shares that a company can issue. Generally, a company will not issue 100% of the authorized stock, so issued stock will be less than the authorized amount. Issued stock can be held by the company, held by employees, or held by the general public.
Authorized shares are the total number of shares a company can legally issue, while issued shares are the number the company has issued to date. The number of authorized and issued shares may be the same or different, in which case there would be more authorized than issued shares.
