Are written general meeting resolutions (circular resolutions) possible on Konsento?
Antwort
Resolutions adopted in writing, either on paper or in electronic form (so-called circular resolutions of the general meeting) under Art. 701 para. 3 CO, are subject to strict legal requirements that make their implementation rather complex. These include the need for the handwritten or qualified electronic signature of all shareholders and the preparation of an attestation protocol by the board of directors. Konsento has therefore developed a pragmatic yet legally compliant alternative that is far more user-friendly: using a guided process, the platform enables proxy general meetings, where no joint meeting of all shareholders takes place. Shareholders cast their votes asynchronously via a proxy holder, while the meeting itself is limited to the chair (usually the board president), the proxy, and, if required, the notary. Konsento automates the entire process.

Yes. The Communication Generator is free to use.
Does every shareholder or member qualify as a beneficial owner?
No. The fact that a company requests information from a shareholder or member does not automatically mean that this person is a beneficial owner. Indirect structures, acting in concert and other means of control may also be relevant.
Does the Communication Generator identify the beneficial owners?
No. The generator supports communication and information gathering. The actual assessment of who qualifies as a beneficial owner and who must be reported to the transparency register takes place afterwards. Konsento’s Transparency Register Reporting Assistant can be used for this assessment.
