Aktieselskab
Aktieselskab (pronounced [ˈɑkɕəselˌskɛˀp]; abbr.: A/S or a/s, pronounced [ˈɛˀ ˈes]; lit. 'stock company') is the Danish name for a stock-based corporation. An aktieselskab may be either publicly traded or private.
The shareholders of an aktieselskab are not liable for the debts of the company. If an A/S is owned by a holding company (typically another A/S or ApS), the profit from the production company can be transferred to the holding company and the two will be taxed as if they were one entity (sambeskatning; joint taxation).
Both an aktieselskab (A/S) and an anpartselskab (ApS) are by definition, limited liability companies; the main difference being that only the A/S issues stock. In case of bankruptcy, creditors are not able to pursue claims towards investors who have not personally provided security. Professional credit lenders such as banks will consequently demand security for credit lend to the A/S or ApS since securitized debt are given legal preference compared to unsecured debts.
In case of bankruptcy, if the defaulting party is a production company registered as an A/S or ApS and the production company in turn is owned by a holding company registrered as an A/S or ApS, transactions between the two may be subject to scrutiny by the bobestyrer lawyer and accountant handling the bankruptcy case and transactions between the two companies may be legally undone if the bobestyrer determines that transfers between the two were not based on normal business operations, but are believed to be an attempt by the management of the defaulting company of stripping it of assets with the intent to defraud the defaulting company's creditors. This power is vested in Konkursloven [Bankruptcy Law] articles 64-81.
The formation of an aktieselskab requires a number of steps, including the following:
An aktieselskab can only acquire rights or incur obligations as a company when it has been registered at the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency.
The share capital registered at the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency must be at least 400,000 DKK. This amount was changed in 2018 from the previous 500,000 DKK. The capital can come from contributions of cash or other assets.
If half of the capital is lost, the board of directors must convene a general meeting within six months.
