Antwort
Do co-founders with a holding of under 25 percent also have to be reported? Yes, if they act in concert with other shareholders, for example through a shareholders' agreement with a blocking minority or an informal, coordinated voting practice. In that case, what matters is the ownership interest held jointly by the group, not the individual holding (Art. 4 and Art. 13 para. 2 LETO).
