liikmeteaktsionär

A liikmeteaktsionär is a term used in Finnish corporate law. It refers to a shareholder whose shares are tied to their membership in a particular organization or association. This type of shareholding is distinct from a traditional share where ownership is solely based on the purchase of stock. The rights and obligations associated with liikmeteaktsionär shares are often influenced by the rules and bylaws of the associated organization.

These shares may not be freely transferable on the open market and their sale or transfer might be subject to specific conditions or approval processes dictated by the governing entity. The concept often arises in cooperative societies, certain types of foundations, or associations where membership is a prerequisite for holding shares. The value of the shares can be linked not only to the financial performance of the company but also to the continued membership status of the holder. In essence, a liikmeteaktsionär combines the role of a member with that of a shareholder, creating a unique ownership structure.
