Questions – Answers

 

 

Do I need to inform the Commercial Register in case of a share sale?

No, unless the transfer results in a change of registered administrator or signatory. The share transfer itself is not recorded in the Commercial Register.

 

Does the transfer of shares require a notarized deed?

No, unless otherwise stipulated by the statutes. Signature legalization may be requested for proof or banking registration purposes.

 

Do I need to respect a preemption right?

Yes, if the SA’s statutes provide for it. HEVEA checks the clauses before drafting the transfer deed.

 

What documents do I need to provide?

Updated company statutes

Identity of the parties (transferee and transferor)

Share register (if available)

Shareholders’ agreement (if applicable)
