Commonly Asked Questions

Post-Incorporation Share Registry:

What is the role of a share registry and why is it necessary for my company?

A share registry is responsible for maintaining records of the shareholders, including their details, number of shares held, and changes in ownership. It is necessary for ensuring accurate tracking of shareholder information, compliance with regulatory requirements, and efficient communication with shareholders.

What types of changes need to be updated in the share registry?

  • Record Keeping: It maintains an accurate record of the company’s shareholders, their shareholding percentages, and other details like contact information.
  • Changes in Shareholding: It tracks any changes in the ownership of shares, including new share issuances, transfers, buybacks, and redemptions.
  • Share Certificates: Post-incorporation, the registry issues share certificates to shareholders, which serve as proof of ownership.
  • Filing with ACRA: Any changes in the share structure, such as allotments or transfers of shares, must be reported to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) within a specified period.
  • Annual Maintenance: Companies are required to maintain and update their share register regularly, ensuring that it is consistent with their latest shareholding structure.

What are the key share registry events?

  • Share Allotment: When the company issues new shares to existing or new shareholders.
  • Share Transfer: When shares are bought, sold, or transferred between shareholders.
  • Change in Shareholder Details: If a shareholder’s name or contact information changes.
  • Share Redemption or Buyback: When a company buys back its own shares, reducing the number of outstanding shares.

What are the legal requirements for maintaining a share registry in Singapore?

Companies in Singapore are required to maintain an up-to-date share registry under the Companies Act, which should include accurate records of shareholders, directors, and share transactions.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in penalties or other legal consequences.

How often should the share registry be updated and who is responsible for this?

The share registry should be updated whenever there are changes, such as share transfers or issuances, or when shareholders’ personal information changes. The company secretary or appointed corporate service provider typically handles these updates and ensures compliance with relevant laws.

What are the consequences of failing to maintain an accurate share registry?

Failing to maintain an accurate share registry can lead to legal and financial complications, including difficulties in shareholder communication, delays in shareholder meetings, and non-compliance with Singapore’s regulatory obligations. This can result in fines or the invalidation of shareholder transactions.
