ägarregisträr

An ägarregisträr, in a Swedish context, translates to an owner's register or shareholder register. It is a crucial document that records the ownership of shares in a limited liability company (aktiebolag). This register is maintained by the company itself and serves as official proof of who owns what proportion of the company's stock.

The ägarregisträr typically includes information such as the name and personal identification number (personnummer) of each shareholder, the number of shares they own, and the date of acquisition for each share. It also details any transfers of ownership that have occurred. This ensures transparency and provides a clear overview of the company's ownership structure.

Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date ägarregisträr is a legal requirement for Swedish companies. It is essential for various corporate actions, including voting at general meetings, distributing dividends, and when changes in ownership occur. While the company is responsible for its maintenance, in practice, many companies outsource this task to specialized service providers or their legal counsel to ensure compliance and accuracy. The information in the register is not always publicly accessible, but it is available to relevant authorities and stakeholders upon request.
