Does a joint stock limited company need to notify other shareholders when transferring its equity?

Legal analysis: it can be handled in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the company law without the resolution of the board of directors or shareholders' meeting. However, the following situations need to be treated with caution:

First, the company's articles of association stipulate that shareholders may not transfer their shares to anyone other than shareholders, and shareholders give up their preemptive right. At this time, it is impossible for shareholders to transfer shares. Whether the company buys them or agrees to transfer their shares through an interim resolution needs to be considered by the board of directors or the shareholders' meeting.

Second, in order to protect the interests of other shareholders, it is best for the company to audit and evaluate the shares that shareholders intend to transfer, so as to avoid the infringement of other shareholders by major shareholders, and it is also necessary for the board of directors and shareholders' meeting to qualitatively and evaluate major shareholders.

Third, if a company wants to transfer its foreign investment equity, it must be considered by the board of directors or the shareholders' meeting, and it will be considered as a major issue of the company and a decision will be made after deliberation.

Legal basis: Article 71 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Shareholders of a limited liability company may transfer all or part of their shares to each other. Shareholders' transfer of equity to persons other than shareholders shall be approved by more than half of other shareholders. Shareholders shall notify other shareholders in writing to agree to the transfer of their shares. If other shareholders fail to reply within 30 days from the date of receiving the written notice, they shall be deemed to have agreed to the transfer. If more than half of the other shareholders do not agree to the transfer, the shareholders who do not agree shall purchase the transferred equity; Do not buy, as agreed to transfer. Under the same conditions, other shareholders have the priority to purchase the equity transferred with the consent of shareholders. If two or more shareholders claim to exercise the preemptive right, their respective purchase proportions shall be determined through consultation; If negotiation fails, the preemptive right shall be exercised in accordance with their respective investment proportions at the time of transfer. Where there are other provisions on equity transfer in the articles of association, such provisions shall prevail.
