The process of buying and selling shares is done exclusively through one of the markets. Salam will not be involved with the selling or purchase of shares, on behalf of the shareholders or non-shareholders.
Shareholders who wish to either sell or purchase shares have to complete the documentation necessary for the selling or purchasing of original shares, depending on their requirement. The documentation must include the name of the shareholder, the number of shares he/she wants to sell or purchase, the price of buying or selling, and the name of the company he/she wants to sell/ purchase, and the order must be signed.
If the shareholder wants to sell, he/she needs to show his/her account number and the bank he/she is dealing with, in order to transfer the net value of the shares being sold to the mentioned account. (It is also necessary that the shareholder's signature is confirmed by the bank he/she is dealing with).
