Where such certificate is also signed by a transfer agent or registrar, or both, the signatures of any such president, vice president, secretary or assistant secretary may be facsimiled. The shares represented thereby shall be transferable on the books of the company in such manner and under such regulations, not inconsistent with the laws of this state relating to the transfer of shares of stock in corporations, as may be provided in the by-laws. If such company is authorized to issue shares of more than one (1) class, every certificate shall state the kind and class of shares represented thereby, and the relative rights, interests, preferences and restrictions of such class, or a summary thereof.
