The Shareholders tab lists the entities (both individuals and companies) that own stock (are shareholders) in the corporate entity displayed in the header. Each shareholder of interest, the number of shares each shareholder owns, as well as the percentage of stock owned by the shareholder, are maintained in this tab. This tab tracks the state of the shareholders interest in the corporate entity. The Shareholders tab does not track the individual stock transactions for a shareholder over time.
The Shareholders tab is accessed by clicking on the tab in the binder section of the Corporate Secretary notebook. If you have questions about entering or modifying tab data, refer to Adding Tab Data, Updating Tab Data, or Deleting Tab Data. The Shareholders tab displays in tabular view as described below.
