List of shareholders (Gesellschafterliste)
Also: Gesellschafterliste, shareholder list
In short
The list of shareholders names all shareholders of a GmbH or UG with name, date of birth and place of residence, as well as the nominal amount, number and percentage of their shares. It is held at the commercial register and can be inspected by anyone.
List of shareholders (Gesellschafterliste) explained
After every change in the shareholders or their shareholdings, a new list must be submitted to the commercial register without delay (Sec. 40 (1) GmbHG). If a shareholder is itself a company, its company name or name, registered office and, where applicable, register number appear in the list. A GbR can only be entered if it is registered in the partnership register. The list carries weight: towards the GmbH, only the person entered in it is deemed to be a shareholder (Sec. 16 (1) GmbHG), and under certain conditions an acquirer may rely on it (Sec. 16 (3) GmbHG). When forming through Recht 24/7, the list of shareholders is included in the fixed price.
