Shares, bonds and financing
Securities, investors, loans and issues
Securities work is a specialist field where improvisation is not an option: every action has a prescribed form and its own procedure before the central securities depository.
We represent issuers and shareholders. We register book-entry share issues, handle transfers and changes to records, deal with shareholder lists for certificated shares, inheritance of securities and incorrect entries. For a Slovak simple joint-stock company (j.s.a.), we establish registered rights unavailable under other legal forms.

The most common questions in this area
-
We have an old securities account at CDCP from privatisation. What should we do with it?
A holder account opened at the central securities depository for an individual by 30 September 2015 is treated as an unassigned holder account. Instructions for it are submitted through a depository member, and at the holder's request both the depository and the member must move the securities to an account with the member free of charge. However, part of this regime only takes effect once a technical system is launched, so the current position needs to be checked.

We are a joint-stock company. Who maintains our shareholder list?
This depends on the form of the shares. For book-entry shares, the records of book-entry securities maintained by the central securities depository replace the shareholder list, so the company does not maintain a separate list. For certificated registered shares, the issuer must enter into an agreement with the central securities depository to maintain the shareholder list without delay after issuing the shares. Failure to do so is often one of the first findings in an acquisition.

We have inherited securities. How do we access the account at CDCP?
The key document is the final inheritance decision, on the basis of which the securities are recorded in the heir's account. To retain inherited securities in their own account, an individual will generally open an account with a member. For a subsequent transfer, however, Section 18b permits an instruction directly from the deceased's account under the prescribed conditions, without the intermediate step of transferring the securities to the heir's account. Bear in mind that the duty to provide a free annual statement does not apply from the holder's death until the inheritance decision becomes final.
