»The New Regulation of the Transmission of Information between Listed Companies and Shareholders. An Analysis of the Second Shareholders' Rights Directive and its Implementation, under Consideration of the Corporate Governance Function of Shareholders«: Shares in listed public companies are held in custody by intermediaries. Especially in a cross-border context, the complexity of intermediary custody often leads to frictions in the transmission of information between the company and its shareholders. The 2nd Shareholders' Rights Directive addresses this problem. The paper analyses the European provisions on the transmission of information as well as the German implementation provisions in the German Stock Corporation Act.
