Shareholder register changes and personal data protection

The act introduces new rules for maintaining shareholder registers in joint-stock companies. It strengthens protection of shareholders' personal data, enables electronic communication, and specifies obligations of companies and register-keeping entities. The changes also concern company liquidation and access to shareholder information.
Key points
Personal data protection: PESEL number, date of birth and residential address of shareholders will not be disclosed to other shareholders.
Electronic communication: possibility to receive notifications and submit consents electronically using trusted or qualified electronic signatures.
New obligations for companies: reporting shareholder register agreements to the court with a board declaration.
Faster access to information: National Depository for Securities will provide shareholder lists within 6 business days.
Company liquidation: the registry court can request the register-keeping entity to provide a shareholder list to conclude the case.
End of registered and bearer shares: all shares will be registered in the shareholder register or securities depository.
