5 Hence if a registered shareholder , A , first executes a transfer to a purchaser , B , and later to another , C , while both remain unregistered B will have priority over C. If , however , C succeeds in obtaining registration before B , he will have priority over B so long as he had no notice , at the time of purchase , of the transfer to B.
