Can we shutdown shared EC2 image after transfer to another AWS account?

I am new to the AWS and learning lot through the support docs. Though I have created an AMI for EC2 instance of one account to transfer it to the another account successfully by reading docs/procedures. I have launched that image after creating a snapshot and it's there in second account.

Now my question is, is it safe or may have any problem if I delete/stop/shutdown instance from first account? Does the instance of second account will run smoothly or not?

EDITED:

Below accepted answer resolve my issue and i get more information about this from here. May it'll also help you out. Check here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/wah/awsgsg-wah.pdf

Yes, terminating the instance from the first account is fine

If the AMI is "shared" to the other account and hasn't been duplicated within it then keeping the AMI is probably a good idea, in case you wish to re-launch it
