The Class Description is the name given to a particular share class. e.g. Ordinary

To edit the Class Description of a share class:

1. Go to the Share Classes tab and click on the pencil and select Edit share class.

2. This will bring up this screen. Leave the answer as "Change the name and/or the rights of share class"

3. Enter the date of change and select which class you are going to edit.

4. The next screen will give you the opportunity to add the Class Description. You can add the Type of Share too if 'Unknown' is showing.  Leave the Prescribed Particulars as displayed unless they too need to be changed. How do I edit the Prescribed Particulars?
If the Nominal Value is incorrect see: How do I correct the nominal value of a share?

5. Then click the green Submit. No message will go to Companies House.

6. You will then have the option to generate the required Companies House form SH08. If you are adding back details because none were returned by Companies House you can finish without generating the form. Otherwise remember to print and send SH08 to Companies House.

7. You will then be returned to the Share Classes tab.
