Public access to the share ledger

Public access to the share ledger

Public access to the share ledger means the share ledger must be available to anyone who wants to see it.

What is public access to the share ledger?

Public access to the share ledger (Swedish: aktiebokens tillgänglighet or offentlighet) means the share ledger of a company that is not a CSD-registered company must be available at the company to anyone who wants to see it, not only to its shareholders.

 

Access in practice

The board is responsible for this. If the ledger is kept digitally, anyone can obtain a printout, and any fees for a copy follow from the Swedish Companies Act. An up-to-date share ledger makes it easier to show a current ownership picture.
