Thanks a lot, Bill, your explaination was very helpful!

Tom... and Peter Yes it must seem confusing. I see zillions of these. What happens is that the Pledgor grants a power of attorney to the pledge creditor so that in the event of default the pledge creditor can create the pledge acting in the name of the pledgor. This is rather essential with a promise of pledge in order to perfect the security. It is the standard way of doing these things. Peter will almost certainly find in this document that a poder is given to the pledge creditor by the pledgor for this and maybe other purposes.

The question contradicts the giving of a pledge Quote from question: '....as this party is not the one making the pledge....'.
Bill Harrison (X) Feb 1, 2011:
Tom this is.... ... a pledge.

Prenda We need to consider whether this is a 1. pledge 2. charge 3. lien or 4. mortgage of company shares - is the term used by UK business and co. law textbooks, even if it Googles for Oz etc. only.
Bill Harrison (X) Feb 1, 2011:
Peter, You do not 'make' a pledge in this context, you create or grant one. Don't confuse it with pledge in the general sense of promise, as in to pledge allegiance or make a pledge to charity. A pledge here is a specific legal concept which involves transfer of possession of non-real (ie. personal) property as security. It is rather like a mortgage but not over land. With a pledge of shares possession of the shares is handed over to the pledge creditor by the Pignorante (pledgor), who holds them as security.

Spanish term (edited): constituir prenda sobre

take or create a lien on or over

If the Acreedores Pignoraticios as Chargees or Mortgagees (note the UK company textbook term is a mortgage of co. shares) are not the ones giving the charge or mortgage - pledge is often a dictionary-driven concept - then they are taking or creating a third-party lien over those shares. A Company can also do so for unpaid calls.

To collateralise the shares would imply charging the shares for a loan.
