Par value, sometimes referred to as maturity value is the face value of a stock certificate or bond and sets the price below which the security will not be issued. In the case of a bond, it is the principle amount that is due at maturity or call. In the case of a company's stock, the par value has no relation to the market value of the security and is typically set at $0.01 or $0.001 for US companies (though they can also issue no par value shares). Federally incorporated Canadian companies by contrast can only issue no par value shares. Provincially incorporated companies can issue shares with a par value which can be helpful in tax planning, estate freezes and unique preferred share issues. So the short answer to your question is that the 5,000, simply denotes how many shares you have, but the "no par value" part is for all intents and purposes irrelevant and only means that the shares were initially created with no par value. It's an aspect of the shares that's really only relevant to the company's accountants.

"No Par Value Shares" are a relatively new phenomenon.It literally means that the shares of stock in a company do not have a "Par Value". Please read this entire response as electing to form a company using "No Par Value" shares can create significant tax issues (assuming you are a start-up planning to raise outside capital, but the issue can exist even if this is not your situation).Par Value for Stock is an archaic concept. In "olden" days, companies used to issue (sell) shares of common stock at Par Value, a price below which no other shares could be sold (by the company, secondary sales are a different matter). Back when securities markets were not well regulated, this approach was intended to protect the purchaser and provide a simple accounting method as the par value per share times the shares sold was equal to the amount raised, which appeared on the balance sheet as Paid in Capital or Contributed Capital.Using Par Value can be avoided, but likely should not be. Most states, including Delaware, allow you to form a corporation with "No Par Value" shares, meaning you do not need to assign a Par Value to the stock. It can make the accounting and paperwork a little easier, but we do not recommend going this route because there are potential tax implications (Delaware Franchise Tax for instance), and since Par Value has been used "forever", most legal and accounting materials factor it in already so the idea it can make this stuff easier is debatable. Over time as "No Par Value" becomes more common we expect it will be better to take this approach, but our basic view here is that if it "ain't broke, don't fix it", and Par Value may be archaic, but it ain't broke.Make sure to consult with a good corporate attorney on this and ask them about the tax issues mentioned above.
