The new provisions of the Commercial Companies Code, which gradually came into force on January 1, 2020, introduced a number of changes in the functioning of non-public joint-stock companies (Act of August 30, 2019, amending the Act – Commercial Companies Code and certain other laws, hereinafter referred to as the "Act"). These changes concern bearer shares and registered shares of joint-stock companies.

As of March 1, 2021, entries in the shareholder register gained legal force, while the legal effect of paper share certificates expired. These certificates retain their evidential value for proving shareholder rights in relation to the company, but only until March 1, 2026.

Since March 1, 2021, only persons disclosed in the shareholder register are considered shareholders in relation to the company.

‍ The register of shareholders is open to all shareholders registered in it and to the company.

‍

The Register of Shareholders contains a range of information relating to shareholders, including:

• The shareholder’s name and surname or company name,
• The shareholder’s residential/business address, or another address for correspondence,
• The email address (if the shareholder has consented to the inclusion of their email address in the register).
