Understanding the Importance of Information Rights in Shareholders’ Agreements

Shareholders are entitled to statutory rights of information and inspection. However, these statutory rights do not adequately serve the interests of Venture Capital or Private Equity investors in terms of participation, information, and control, as they can quite easily be restricted by the board of directors. An investor needs to be continuously informed about its investment's activities, and to achieve this, the structural information gap between investors and the company must be balanced through contractual information and inspection rights. In this article, the statutory information and inspection rights of shareholders are first presented, followed by a discussion of typical information rights in shareholders’ agreements.

Das digitale Notariat – elektronische öffentliche Beurkundung

Das Bundesrecht schreibt für viele Rechtsgeschäfte die Form der öffentliche Beurkundung vor. Als konkrete Beispiele zu nennen sind ein Grundstückkaufvertrag oder ein Ehevertrag, aber auch der Gründungsakt einer AG oder GmbH muss öffentlich beurkundet werden. Das Verfahren der öffentlichen Beurkundung ist nach kantonalem Recht geregelt und wird von einer Urkundsperson (bspw. von einem Notar oder einer Notarin) durchgeführt. Am Ende resultiert eine öffentliche Urkunde. Nach geltenden Recht muss das Original einer öffentlichen Urkunde zwingend als Papierdo-kument erstellt werden. Mit dem Gesetzesentwurf zum Bundesgesetz über die Digitalisierung im Notariat soll das Beurkundungsrecht an heutige gesellschaftliche, technische und wirt-schaftliche Entwicklungen angepasst werden. Zukünftig wird es möglich sein, das Original der öffentlichen Urkunde in elektronischer Form zu erstellen.
