A person who holds share certificates subject to the registration of lost share certificate (excluding the registrant of lost share certificate for relevant share certificates) may file an application with the share certificate-issuing company for the cancellation of relevant registration of lost share certificate, as prescribed by Ministry of Justice Order; provided, however, that this does not apply if one year has elapsed from the day immediately following the day of registration of the loss of share certificate.
A person who intends to make an application under the provisions of the preceding paragraph must submit the share certificates referred to in that paragraph to the share certificate-issuing company.
A share certificate-issuing company that has received an application under the provisions of paragraph (1) must, without delay, notify the registrant of lost share certificate referred to in that paragraph of the name and address of the person who made the application under the provisions of that paragraph, and of the serial numbers of the share certificates referred to in that paragraph.
On the day on which two weeks have elapsed from the day of the notice under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the share certificate-issuing company must cancel the registration of lost share certificate relating to share certificates submitted pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2). In these cases, the share certificate-issuing company must return relevant share certificates to the person who filed the application under the provisions of paragraph (1).
