yhtiöjärjestyksiin

Yhtiöjärjestys is a Finnish term referring to the articles of association for a company. It is a fundamental document that governs the internal structure, operations, and governance of a limited liability company (osakeyhtiö) or other business forms in Finland. The yhtiöjärjestys is established at the time of a company's incorporation and can be amended later through a shareholder resolution.

Key provisions typically found within a yhtiöjärjestys include the company's name, registered office, and the scope of its business activities. It also details the share capital, the number and nominal value of shares, and any special rights or restrictions associated with different share classes. The yhtiöjärjestys outlines the procedures for calling and conducting general meetings of shareholders, including voting rights and quorum requirements. Furthermore, it specifies the composition and powers of the board of directors and any supervisory board, as well as the appointment and dismissal of key management personnel.

The yhtiöjärjestys serves as a contract between the shareholders and between the company and its shareholders. It ensures transparency and predictability in corporate governance, providing a framework for decision-making and dispute resolution. Compliance with the yhtiöjärjestys is legally binding, and any deviations can have legal consequences. It is a public document, accessible through the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) for companies registered in Finland.
