Does a company limited by shares still have to keep a share register despite using intermediated securities?
Antwort
Yes. Under Art. 686 CO, a company must keep a share register for its registered shares, regardless of whether the shares are held on paper, as uncertificated securities, or as intermediated securities. Only a person entered in the share register is recognised as a shareholder vis-à-vis the company.
