Firms in Singapore address their shareholders with the greatest equality and fairness. Being a shareholder grants you some privileges, but also it entails certain responsibilities. If you want to know any legal aspect about shareholders or corporate firms, the IMC is always there to serve you.
IMC has a workforce of corporate financial consultants who offer the customer unrivaled corporate financial services. They collaborate with the firms to secure the necessary finances. However, this article will cover some of your responsibilities as a shareholder in a Singapore firm.
Your principal responsibility as a shareholder of a Singapore firm is to pay the corporation the whole amount agreed upon in consideration for the shares issued to you. The specific terms and means of payment will vary based on the shares you purchased.
For instance, if you purchase shares through a securities brokerage business, you should pay according to the contract’s provisions between you and the securities brokerage firm. In addition, relevant payment conditions for non-listed company shares will be included in the shareholders’ agreement.
A company’s issue of new shares must be approved by its shareholders. As a result, you must analyze the company’s justification for doing so and whether voting on behalf of it will be in the best interests.
For instance, you must be aware that issuing new shares to just one subscriber could result in the suspension of shareholding. It may be disadvantageous to yourself and to all of the firm’s minority shareholders.
Shareholders must vote either for or against the contract of the company’s assets if they are of considerable worth.
For listed companies: Any asset sale requires shareholder approval:
For non-listed companies: Shareholder permission is only necessary by law if the firm sells all of its assets or operations. However, the company’s policy may also require shareholder approval for asset transactions over a particular amount.
Suppose the business decides to sell a specifically strategic asset. In that case, shareholders should exercise caution in deciding if to vote in support of the sale or not. This is because such a sale may significantly influence the company’s net assets, profitability, and so on.
If you have any doubts regarding the voting rights of the shareholders of Singapore firms, you can consult IMC for better assistance. Also, they collaborate with share market authorities to ensure that the company’s shares comply with securities market legislation when they are offered for public sale.
This article was a quick overview of the role and responsibilities of a corporate shareholder in a Singapore corporation. However, it should be remembered that not all businesses are the same. Some may have modified their standards by writing customized articles. As a result, the company’s articles must be evaluated before seeking shareholder approval. Therefore, it is preferable to accept a reasonable suggestion from the finest source.
