Abstract: In his article Bronnikov analyzes the pledge that is mandatory for applicants seeking participation in the bidding as the means of security of the bidding. He also compares it to the security payment. Comparing the legal peculiarities of these means of obligations' security, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that unlike the pledge, the security payment better suits for the role of security of obligations during the bidding. Just so, the security payment does not require a written contract to be concluded, thus the fact of making the security payment by an applicant seeking participation in the bidding may be already acknowledged as the contract conclusion. Moreover, the return of the security payment in case the bidding process organizer declines the offer does not contradict to the eforcement function that it has (unlike in case of the pledge). The methodological basis of the research is a set of general research methods such as systems analysis, synthesis, clarification and abstraction, generalisation of research concepts and legal material, systems structured analysis, logical and analytical method. The researcher describes specific features of using the security payment in the process of the organisation and conduction of the bidding and proves that the security payment is a good alternative to the pledge. The use of the security payment creates additional guarantees for the bidding process organizer including the guarantee of fair practices of all bidding participants who are ready to submit the security payment instead of the pledge.

Abstract: The research subject is the set of legal provisions aimed at the regulation of relations in the field of pledge of rights of corporate members, the practice of their application by antimonopoly service and courts, and the set of theoretical provisions about pledge. The author analyzes the problem of the legal nature of pledge over shares of an LLC’s registered capital, outlines topical legal problems, and offers the ways to solve them. The author also raises the question of realization of this subject of pledge on public markets. The research methodology is based on the set of general scientific and specific methods of jurisprudence such as analysis, synthesis, specification and abstraction, the comparative-legal, formal-legal, technical-legal, sociological methods, and the method of legal modeling. The scientific novelty of this study consists in the fact that though there are particular works on this topic, the issue of pledge of rights of corporate members hasn’t been studied sufficiently enough yet. Based on the analysis of sources, normative acts, judicial practice, and the practice of public marketing, the author offers concrete measures for the solution of particular legal problems, connected with pledge over shares of companies and their further realization on public markets for the purpose of meeting the liabilities to creditors.
