“The impact of share dematerialization on participation in general meetings of shareholders” – article by Piotr Kawecki, attorney-at-law, in Rzeczpospolita

9 July 2025 • Autor: Kancelaria Brysiewicz Bokina i Wspólnicy

Many shareholders participated in general meetings despite not being entered in the register or being entered too late, which was permitted by the chair of the meeting. However, this has many negative consequences.


More than half a year has passed since the entry into force of the regulations on mandatory dematerialization of shares. The deadline for organizing an ordinary general meeting for most companies has also passed. This is a good time to discuss the problems that companies and their shareholders have had to face this year.

What can shareholders who have not submitted their shares by the deadline do? What if the company has not entered into an agreement with the entity maintaining the register?

We encourage you to read the article “The impact of share dematerialization on participation in general meetings of shareholders” by lawyer Piotr Kawecki, which appeared in Rzeczpospolita (available HERE).
