Notification of beneficial owner (article 697j / 790a CO) (bilingual F-E)

Under Swiss law, any person who acquires shares (Aktien) of Swiss corporations (Aktiengesellschaften) that are not listed on a stock exchange or quotas (Stammanteile) of Swiss limited liability companies (Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) and thus reaches or exceeds the threshold of 25 per cent of the share capital or voting rights of the company is required to notify to the company the identity of the natural person for whom it is ultimately acting (beneficial owner) (article 697j CO or 790a CO). This template can be used to create such notification (Meldung der wirtschaftlich berechtigten Person).

The questionnaire for this template is in English, whereas the notification it produces is bilingual in French and English. Templates with questionnaires in German or French as well as monolingual language versions are also available.

Terms which are configurable to the user’s needs include:

• Details of the company;
• Details of the notifying shareholder;
• Details of the shares or quotas; and
• Details of the beneficial owner.
