Document background
The Notice of Transfer of Shares is a mandatory document under Dutch corporate law that must be submitted when ownership of shares changes hands in a Dutch company. This notice serves multiple purposes: it formally informs the company of the transfer, enables the company to maintain accurate shareholder records, and helps ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The document becomes necessary immediately following any share transfer transaction and must contain specific information required by Dutch law, including details of the transferor, transferee, and the shares being transferred. When preparing a Notice of Transfer of Shares, consideration must be given to both statutory requirements and any specific provisions in the company's articles of association regarding share transfers. The notice is particularly important as it triggers the company's obligation to update its shareholders' register, which is a legal requirement under Dutch corporate law.
