According to the Swedish Companies Act (ABL), we are obliged as a Central Securities Depository to provide information to whoever requests it about shareholders owning 500 shares or more in a particular company. These shareholders are collected in public registers of shareholders that we publish four times per year, i.e. every quarter.
Euroclear Sweden is responsible by law for providing a public shareholder register and a public nominee list of owners regarding each CSD-registered company affiliated to it. The public shareholder register and the public nominee list of owners contain shareholders holding more than 500 shares in such CSD-registered company. In addition to keeping these public shareholder registers and public nominee list of owners available to the general public at its premises, the general public is entitled to order, at a charge to cover Euroclear Sweden’s costs, a recent copy of a public shareholder register and / or a public nominee list of owners regarding CSD-registered companies. Euroclear Sweden hereby provides the opportunity to order either a new register (of a certain future date) or a copy of an already produced register, corresponding to the register held available at Euroclear Sweden’s premises (which are not more than 3 months old). The public shareholder register and the public nominee list of owners are two separate registers. The public shareholder register contains information about shareholders and nominees holding its shares on accounts held directly with Euroclear Sweden (top tier level). The public nominee list of owners contains information about shareholders holding its shares on accounts with companies participating as nominees with Euroclear Sweden (next/second level). To order a register please contact clear_settle@euroclear.com or call 08-402 9150.
