A majority shareholding (Swedish: aktiemajoritet) means that one or more shareholders together hold more than half of the shares or votes in a company. It is also known as a majority interest. If the company has several share classes, a capital majority and a voting majority may differ.
Whoever holds a voting majority can usually decide most matters at the general meeting, while some resolutions require a qualified majority. Knowing who holds the majority requires an accurate share ledger. This matters especially in an acquisition.
A shareholder is a person or company that owns one or more shares in a limited company.
