Does the equity transfer of a joint stock limited company need to be filed?

Legal analysis: When a joint stock limited company transfers its equity, it not only needs to put on record, but also needs to apply to the market supervision and management department for change registration. When a shareholder of a joint stock limited company transfers its shares, it shall be decided by the shareholders' general meeting. If other shareholders disagree with the transferor's transfer of equity, other shareholders shall purchase the equity to be transferred. If other shareholders give up the purchase, the transferor has the right to transfer the equity to others.
