Aktsionäridel

Aktsionäridel refers to shareholders in Estonian. Shareholders are individuals or institutions that own at least one share of a company's stock. Owning stock makes them a partial owner of the company. The rights and responsibilities of shareholders can vary depending on the type of shares they hold and the company's articles of association.

Generally, shareholders have the right to vote on certain corporate matters, such as the election of the board of directors and significant corporate decisions, often at annual general meetings. They may also be entitled to receive dividends, which are distributions of a company's profits. The value of their investment fluctuates with the company's performance and market conditions.

Shareholders have limited liability, meaning their personal assets are protected from the company's debts and obligations. Their potential loss is typically limited to the amount they have invested in the company's stock. The role of shareholders is crucial in corporate governance, as they represent the ownership interest and hold the ultimate authority within a company, albeit exercised through a board of directors.
