You may entrust intermediaries, and the newly revised Company Law expressly supports this. The inspection and copying costs of the intermediary institutions are borne by the shareholder, but professional involvement can substantially improve the quality of inspection and the efficiency of subsequent rights protection.

Not necessarily. The key lies in the nature of the appreciation. If it is natural appreciation (passive market factors), it belongs to the individual and the spouse has no right to a division; if it is active appreciation (generated by one party’s post-marital management and input), it constitutes investment income and is marital property, to which the spouse is entitled.…

It is very difficult but not impossible. Without a written agreement, reliance must be placed on an indirect chain of evidence to prove the nominee shareholding relationship: capital contribution records (records of the capital you remitted to the nominee), dividend records (records of dividends the nominee remitted to you), evidence of participation in management (records of your attendance at shareholders’…

Yes. The legal liability for withdrawal of capital is not discharged by an equity transfer. The company, other shareholders, or creditors may still require the shareholder to bear liability within the scope of the principal and interest withdrawn. A transferee who knew or should have known of the withdrawal may also be held liable.

Yes. A creditor may raise the claim together with a lawsuit against the company on the debt dispute, or apply at the enforcement stage to add the shareholder who has withdrawn capital as a person subject to enforcement, requiring the shareholder to bear supplementary compensation liability for the unsatisfied portion of the company’s debts within the scope of the principal…

This is a typical ‘voidable’ procedural defect. You may assert that you were not lawfully notified and that the meeting was convened in violation of procedure, and file a suit to revoke the resolution within 60 days. The key is to prove ‘non-receipt’—keep evidence such as your communication records and proof that your address has not changed. Source article: Can…

No. A shareholder’s right to inspect is a statutory right that cannot be deprived in advance through the articles of association or a shareholders’ agreement. Even if you sign to ‘voluntarily waive’ it, such a clause is void because it violates mandatory legal provisions. Source article: The Company Never Distributes Dividends or Shows You the Books? The Action for Inspection…

Yes. Industrial and commercial registration has public notice effect, and a creditor’s application for compulsory enforcement against the equity registered in the name of the recorded shareholder is lawful. A hidden shareholder’s objection to the enforcement is unlikely to succeed—this is the most dangerous risk of nominee shareholding and must be assessed before signing any such arrangement.

The action for inspection rights is a means, not an end. Once verified, you may further assert the right to request profit distribution, file an action concerning liability for harming the company’s interests (a shareholder derivative action), or, where the conditions are met, request the company to repurchase the equity or dissolve the company.

Yes. For a resolution ‘adopted while you held shareholder status,’ a former shareholder still has the right to bring a voidable action even after transferring the equity, as long as it is within the time limit. However, actions for ‘not formed/void’ resolutions have broader standing requirements, and interested parties may also assert them. Further Reading The Company Never Distributes Dividends…
