Are companies with intermediated securities still exempt from reporting their beneficial owners?
Antwort
No, not as a general rule anymore. The previous exemption under Art. 697j para. 5 CO falls away once the TJPG enters into force on 1 October 2026. Going forward, the sole decisive factor is whether the company is listed on a stock exchange within the meaning of Art. 26 let. b FMIA.
