aktieägaruppgifter

Aktieägaruppgifter refers to information pertaining to shareholders of a company. This includes details such as the shareholder's name, address, the number of shares they own, and the date of acquisition. In Sweden, this information is typically maintained in a share register, which is a legal requirement for all limited liability companies (aktiebolag). The share register serves as the official record of ownership.

This register is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that the company can accurately identify its owners and communicate with them, for example, regarding general meetings or dividend payments. Secondly, it helps prevent unauthorized transfers of shares and provides a basis for determining voting rights at shareholder meetings. In certain cases, like significant ownership stakes, regulatory bodies may also require access to this information for transparency and oversight purposes.

Companies are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date and accurate share register. Shareholders have the right to access their own information within the register and to ensure its correctness. The specific details recorded and the accessibility of this information are governed by Swedish company law.
