Are intermediated securities a distinct type of share under Swiss company law?
Antwort
No. Intermediated securities are not a distinct class of shares, but a special form in which existing corporate rights are held in custody and transferred. Which class a share belongs to is still determined by Art. 622 CO, in particular whether the share is a registered share or a bearer share.
