第二百二十七条（株券を発行する旨の定款の定めを廃止した場合における株券喪失登録の抹消）
Article 227Cancellation of Registration of Lost Share Certificate Where Provisions of Articles of Incorporation to Issue Share Certificates Are Abolished
その株式（種類株式発行会社にあっては、全部の種類の株式）に係る株券を発行する旨の定款の定めを廃止する定款の変更をする場合には、株券発行会社は、当該定款の変更の効力が生ずる日に、株券喪失登録（当該株券喪失登録がされた株券に係る株式の名義人が株券喪失登録者であるものに限り、第二百二十五条第二項の規定により提出された株券についてのものを除く。）を抹消しなければならない。
If a share certificate-issuing company amends the articles of incorporation to abolish provisions of the articles of incorporation to the effect that the share certificate-issuing company issues share certificates for its shares (or, for a company with class shares, shares of all classes), the share certificate-issuing company must cancel the registration of lost share certificate (excluding registrations for share certificates submitted under the provisions of Article 225, paragraph (2) only if the registrant of lost share certificate is the registered holder of the shares relating to the share certificates subject to relevant registration of lost share certificate) on the day of the effectuation of relevant amendment to the articles of incorporation.
