promotional stock

promotional stock
Shares issued by a newly formed corporation to a promoter (organizer) of the corporation in payment for putting the company together and locating shareholders or other funding. Some states limit the amount of promotional stock the promoter can receive to an amount reasonable for the effort, since it is supported by labor alone and not by assets or cash.
