FAQ
Shareholders own the company by owning its shares and are often referred to as 'members'. Directors on the other hand, manage the business and its operations. Unless the articles of association state so, a director isn't required to be a shareholder, and a shareholder has no legal right to be a director.
Does a Director Need to Hold Shares? As a director, you can own shares in your company. However, there is no requirement for a director to hold shares. Nevertheless, a company constitution may state that the director must hold a specified amount of shares.
There is no requirement for directors to also be shareholders, and shareholders do not automatically have the right to be directors. However, in most private limited companies, they are the same people. This flexibility in ownership and management is one of the many great things about the limited company structure.
Shareholders and directors have two completely different roles in a company. The shareholders (also called members) own the company by owning its shares and the directors manage it. Unless the articles say so (and most do not) a director does not need to be a shareholder and a shareholder has no right to be a director.
While every board member is a shareholder, not every shareholder is automatically a board member. Shareholders who own a certain percentage of the company's shares (usually 10 percent or more) are eligible to serve on the board. However, they must be nominated and elected by the other shareholders.
Summary. There is no legal requirement for a limited company director to also be a shareholder. So as a general rule, a person can be made a director, a shareholder, or both. The position of directors and shareholders differs in the remit of their role, their rights, and their responsibilities.
There is no legal requirement for the directors of a limited company to also be shareholders. Similarly, a shareholder has no automatic right under the law to be a director. Nevertheless, it's common for at least one person in a company to hold both positions simultaneously.
Although it may be somewhat difficult, removing a majority shareholder is possible – for instance, if they have violated the original terms of the shareholders' agreement or the company's bylaws.
First, the shareholder must have violated either the shareholders' agreement or the bylaws (or both), and a resolution for removal has to be drawn up and presented to the Board of Directors. The cause for the removal must be stated, and a buy-out request to gain back the shares can also be included.
Companies Act provisions Under the Companies Acts some decisions, such as changing the company's articles, can only be made by the shareholders. Many others are decisions for the directors but the directors may need the shareholders' consent, by means of an ordinary or special resolution.
