Do the shareholders of a group company have to be the same?

Not all of them. Under normal circumstances, the shareholders of group companies are different according to their shareholding, that is, they are not exactly the same. In addition to the dignity of shareholder status, the substantive advantage of shareholder status is that it can control the company through shareholder voting rights and ensure the predictability of its own interests, but it is difficult for ordinary employees to participate in major decisions of the company.
