Aandelenregister

The share register is a mandatory document for private limited companies, recording all issued shares and the identity of their holders. It includes, among other matters, the names and addresses of the shareholders, the number of shares held by each, and any restrictions on transferability.

The register is significant as it evidences the legal position of the shareholders and provides insight into the ownership structure within the company. It plays a key role in share transfers, dividend distributions and the determination of voting rights.

In practice, the register is maintained by the board and must be made available upon request to shareholders and certain supervisory authorities.
