Share Ownership Guidelines

Share ownership guidelines are becoming increasingly important in German corporate practice. From the outset, the question arises as to why so many companies now rely on such share acquisition and holding obligations instead of using familiar incentive-based compensation models. Against the background of authoritative economic theories, the fundamental questions of stock corporation law surrounding the Share Ownership Guidelines, which are so relevant in practice, are answered. The result is a guideline for effective and efficient structuring for management boards and supervisory boards of listed stock corporations.
