of the partnership rather than the names of its individual members.
More flexible in terms of decision-making, board meetings, minutes books .
Annual or extraordinary meetings are not required
DISADVANTAGESAccounting requirements of
the Companies are applicable in the case of LLPs.
These accounting requirements are quite demanding.

A LLP director can be liable to a third party for his negligent act or omissions in the course of his duties.

TWO PROBLEMS FOR THE SHAREHOLDER:
SHAREHOLDERS: RIGHTS AND POSSIBILITES.Shareholders: The owners of the Company`s
Assets.
RIGHTS: a) determine how assets are to be managed. B) to receive the residual income from the asset. C) to transfer ownership of the assets
to others.
A question. Can Shareholders exercise control if the directors fail to protect
their interests??
THEY ARE TOO MANY- SPREADING OF OWNERSHIP.
THEY DO NOT HAVE GOOD
INFORMATION.
![Page 14: Test revision 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a0597c1a28ab5c1c8b58cb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DUE TO RISK DIVERSIFICATION NEEDS: THE COMPANY TRIES TO SPREAD OWNERSHP .-
THE SHAREHOLDERS ARE TOO MANY, AND IN THE A.G.M. THEY DO NOT HAVE MUCH RELEVANCE.
THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE A.G.M. BUT AWKWARD QUESTIONS (PARTICIPATIONS THAT QUESTION THE WAY DIRECTORS HAVE ACTED) ACN BE HELD OFF BY THE CHAIRMAN IN THE MEETING.
FIRST FACTOR. (SHAREHOLDERS)
![Page 15: Test revision 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a0597c1a28ab5c1c8b58cb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SECOND FACTOR- LACK OF INFORMATION.
THEY LACK OF AN ADQUATE FLOW OF INFORMATIONTHEY FACE CONSIDERABLE OBSTACLES IN OBTAINING GOOD INFORMATIONONE SHAREHOLDER CAN INVEST AND OBTAIN GOOD INFORMATION. (HE BEAR ALL THE COSTS)IF HE GETS ANY ADVANTAGE OF THAT, ALL OTHER SHAREHOLDERS WILL ACCRUE BENEFITS AT HIS EXPENSES. (THIS IS THE “FREE RIDER ISSUE”).WHAT CAN A SH. DO? HE CAN SELL HIS SHARESIF SO, HE IS “VOTING WITH HIS FEET”.

SOMETIMES COMPANIES HAVE ISSUED SOME SHARES, AND HAVE HAD BOUGHT THEM BACK.
THEY HOLD THOSE SHARES “IN TREASURE”.
TREASURY SHARES.
--UNTIL 2003 U.K. LAW PROHIBITED COMPANIES TO HOLD THEIR OWN SHARES IN TREASURY AFTER CERTAIN PERIOD. SINCE 2003: ACT THAT PERMITS COMPANIES TO
BUY BACK THEIR OWN SHARES AND HOLD THEM IN TREASURY RATHER THAN HAVING TO CANCEL
THEM. IT ONLY APPLIES TO COMPANY SHARES THAT
ARE LISTED ON THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE´S OFFICIAL LIST, THE A.I.M. OR
COMPARABLE EUROPEAN MARKET.
