Can a supervisor be a shareholder?

Legal analysis: supervisors can be shareholders. China's "Company Law" does not prohibit shareholders from serving as supervisors of the company, but only stipulates that directors and senior managers of the company may not concurrently serve as supervisors. Therefore, the company's shareholders can serve as the company's supervisors. The supervisor is a member of the company's permanent supervision organization, also known as the "supervisor", and is responsible for supervising the company's financial situation, the performance of duties by the company's senior management, and other supervisory duties stipulated in the company's articles of association. The selection of supervisors is decided by shareholders. If the shareholder of the company is a legal person, the company as a shareholder shall determine a candidate to be sent to the company as a supervisor according to the provisions of the law and the articles of association.

Legal basis: Article 52 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the term of office of the supervisor is three years. Upon expiration of the term of office, a supervisor may be re-elected. Where the supervisor fails to be re-elected in time upon the expiration of his term of office, or the members of the board of supervisors are less than quorum due to the resignation of the supervisor during his term of office, the original supervisor shall still perform his duties in accordance with laws, administrative regulations and the Articles of Association before the re-elected supervisor takes office.
