B) Beneficial Ownership The individual holds, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the shares in the company. The 25% threshold is calculated with reference to the nominal value of the shares in the case of a company with share capital.
A beneficial owner holds shares indirectly, through a bank or broker-dealer. Beneficial owners holding their shares at a broker-dealer or bank are sometimes said to be holding shares in “street name.” The majority of U.S investors own their securities this way.
Where any change occurs in the beneficial interest in such shares, the registered owner and the beneficial owner shall, within a period of 30 days from the date of such change, make a declaration to the company in MGT-4 and MGT-5, respectively in duplicate.
The definition of a beneficial owner is an individual who holds more than 25% of shares or voting rights. Therefore, an individual who holds exactly 25% (or less) of the shares or voting rights does not meet the definition of a beneficial owner/ responsible person.
Beneficial ownership in respect of a company means, an individual who, directly or indirectly, ultimately owns that company or exercises effective control over that company. (Section 55 of the General Laws Amendment Act, 22 of 2022, read with the amendments to the Companies Act and Companies Act Regulations).
A beneficial owner is always the living, breathing human being who ultimately profits from the company's activities, or controls the company's activities. It is never a company, other legal entity, or a nominee/proxy.
