Section 61. Consideration for Stocks.— Stocks shall not be issued for a consideration less than the par or issued price thereof. Consideration for the issuance of stock may be:
Actual cash paid to the corporation;
Property, tangible or intangible, actually received by the corporation and necessary or convenient for its use and lawful purposes at a fair valuation equal to the par or issued value of the stock issued;
Labor performed for or services actually rendered to the corporation;
Previously incurred indebtedness of the corporation;
Amounts transferred from unrestricted retained earnings to stated capital;
Outstanding shares exchanged for stocks in the event of reclassification or conversion;
Shares of stock in another corporation; and/or
Other generally accepted form of consideration.
Where the consideration is other than actual cash, or consists of intangible property such as patents or copyrights, the valuation thereof shall initially be determined by the stockholders or the board of directors, subject to the approval of the Commission.
Shares of stock shall not be issued in exchange for promissory notes or future service. The same considerations provided in this section, insofar as applicable, may be used for the issuance of bonds by the corporation.
The issued price of no-par value shares may be fixed in the articles of incorporation or by the board of directors pursuant to authority conferred by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws, or if not so fixed, by the stockholders representing at least a majority of the outstanding capital stock at a meeting duly called for the purpose.
