Share Registers

AtlasOS maintains a digital share register for each company entity — recording all share classes, issued shares, and shareholder details in a searchable, auditable format. This replaces paper-based share registers and manual spreadsheets.

Share Classes

Each company may have multiple share classes. For each class, record:

  • Class name (e.g., Ordinary Shares, Preference Shares, Class A)
  • Authorised shares — total shares authorised in the MOI
  • Issued shares — shares currently in issue
  • Voting rights — votes per share (if any)
  • Dividend rights — entitlement and preference
  • Par value (if applicable) or confirmed no-par-value

Shareholder Register

For each shareholder, AtlasOS records:

Share Transfers

Record share transfers in AtlasOS:

  1. Navigate to Corporate Secretarial → Share Register → Transfers
  2. Enter the transferor (seller), transferee (buyer), number of shares, and transfer date
  3. Upload the signed share transfer form (Form ST)
  4. AtlasOS updates the register and shareholder percentages automatically
tip

Share transfers must also be reflected in the beneficial ownership register if the transfer affects a beneficial owner threshold. AtlasOS will prompt you to review BO when a transfer is captured.
