Short Reads - "Determine your UBO for the three Benelux countries"  In Luxembourg, companies and other legal entities have been required to register their UBO(s) since 31 August 2019.  In Belgium, the UBO register is also already operational. Although 30 September 2019 was the formal deadline for registration, Belgian authorities announced they would begin policing non-compliance as from 1 January 2020. The Dutch legislator did not meet the implementation deadline. We expect that the law will not enter into force prior to 1 March 2020.

Short Reads - Vandaag is de Wet tot implementatie van de Herziene aandeelhoudersrechtenrichtlijn (“SRD II”) (“Implementatiewet”) in het Staatsblad gepubliceerd. SRD II beoogt effectieve en duurzame aandeelhoudersbetrokkenheid bij beursgenoteerde vennootschappen te bevorderen. De Implementatiewet introduceert nieuwe regels op het gebied van bezoldiging van bestuurders en commissarissen, related party transactions, identificatie van aandeelhouders, doorgifte van informatie in de keten en facilitering van (stem)rechten.
