Shareholders’ Rights and Obligations in General

According to the Limited Liability Companies Act, the general meeting of the shareholders exercises the highest decision power in the company. Every shareholder has the right to participate in the general meeting and be heard and vote there. The company itself or its subsidiaries cannot, however, participate and vote in the general meeting with shares owned by the company.

The rights of a shareholder and similarly the rights connected to the shares are commonly divided into so called administrative rights and property rights.
