yhtiöjärjestykseksi

Yhtiöjärjestykseksi is a Finnish term that translates to "articles of association" or "company deed" in English. It is a foundational legal document that governs the internal workings and operations of a Finnish limited liability company (osakeyhtiö). The yhtiöjärjestys is created when a company is established and is registered with the Finnish Patent and Registration Office.

The content of the yhtiöjärjestys can vary but typically includes essential information such as the company's name, domicile, and the nominal value of its shares. It also defines the number of shares, how they are transferred, and any restrictions on their transferability. Furthermore, the yhtiöjärjestys outlines the procedures for holding general meetings of shareholders, including notice periods and voting rights. It specifies the composition and powers of the board of directors and any supervisory boards, as well as the company's accounting period and how profits are to be distributed.

Amendments to the yhtiöjärjestys require a resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders and must be registered with the Patent and Registration Office. The yhtiöjärjestys serves as a crucial reference point for shareholders, management, and external parties, ensuring transparency and clarity in the company's governance and structure. It is a legally binding document that all stakeholders must adhere to.
