pääomayksiköllä

Pääomayksikkö translates to "capital unit" in English. It is a term used in Finnish corporate law to refer to a share in a limited liability company (osakeyhtiö). Specifically, it denotes a unit of ownership that represents a portion of the company's share capital. Each pääomayksikkö typically grants its holder certain rights, such as voting rights at shareholder meetings and the right to receive dividends. The nominal value of a pääomayksikkö is determined when the company is established or when new shares are issued. The total share capital of a company is the sum of the nominal values of all its issued pääomayksiköt. The concept of pääomayksikkö is fundamental to understanding the structure and ownership of Finnish limited liability companies. It distinguishes ownership stakes from other forms of capital, such as debt. The rights and obligations associated with a pääomayksikkö can be further detailed in the company's articles of association (yhtiöjärjestys).
