Equity refers to the comprehensive property and personal rights acquired by shareholders after fulfilling their capital contribution obligations. Shareholders' property rights include dividend right, priority right of compensation and priority right of purchase. Personal rights of shareholders include the right to vote and the right to know. Shareholders own shares in the company, which means that shareholders have rights, that is, they can enjoy dividends from the company.

Where shareholders make capital contributions in cash, they shall deposit their capital contributions in full into the account opened by the limited liability company in the bank; Where non-monetary property is used as capital contribution, the formalities for the transfer of property rights shall be handled according to law. Where a shareholder fails to pay the capital contribution in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, he shall be liable for breach of contract to the shareholder who has paid the capital contribution in full and on time.
