Registration in the share ledger

Registration in the share ledger

Registration in the share ledger means a new owner or change is recorded and dated in the ledger.

What is registration in the share ledger?

Registration in the share ledger (Swedish: införing i aktieboken) is when an owner or change is recorded in the company's share ledger. When someone presents a share certificate or otherwise proves an acquisition, the entry must be made without delay and dated, see entry date.

 

Why registration matters

The share ledger shows whom the company treats as a shareholder, for example for dividends and general meetings. A delayed or missing entry makes the ownership picture uncertain.
