Are registered shares in Switzerland also securities rights?
Antwort
Yes — registered shares can be structured as securities rights (according to Art. 622 CO, permitting issuance under Art. 973c or 973d), but not every registered share is automatically a securities right: it depends on the statutes and the way they are issued.
