Suuraktsionärid

Suuraktsionärid, often translated as major shareholders or significant shareholders, refers to individuals or entities that hold a substantial portion of a company's shares. The exact threshold that defines a "suuraktsionär" can vary depending on company bylaws, stock exchange regulations, and market practices, but it generally implies a level of ownership that grants considerable influence over the company's decisions.

These shareholders typically possess voting rights proportional to their stake, allowing them to participate in key corporate governance matters such as electing the board of directors, approving major transactions like mergers or acquisitions, and voting on amendments to the company's articles of incorporation. The influence of a suuraktsionär can extend beyond formal voting, as their opinions and interests often carry significant weight in board discussions and strategic planning.

In many jurisdictions, there are reporting requirements for entities or individuals who cross certain ownership thresholds, ensuring transparency in the market. This allows other investors, regulators, and the public to be aware of who holds substantial control. The presence and actions of suuraktsionärid can significantly impact a company's share price, its strategic direction, and its overall stability. They may be private individuals, institutional investors like pension funds or investment management firms, or even other corporations.
