Principle of shareholder equality - The principle of equality of shareholders

Japanese: 株主平等の原則 - かぶぬしびょうどうのげんそく(英語表記)Grundsatz der gleichmäßigen Behandlung der Aktionäre
Principle of shareholder equality - The principle of equality of shareholders
The principle that shareholders should be treated equally in legal relationships based on their capacity as shareholders according to the type and number of shares they own (Article 109, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act). It functions to protect minority shareholders from abuse of majority votes. As an exception, classes of shares are legally provided for (Articles 107 and 108). In addition, exceptions are permitted when each shareholder approves specific unequal treatment, but other provisions of the articles of incorporation, resolutions of the general shareholders' meeting, or business actions that violate the principle of shareholder equality are invalid.
