In the division of the register of participants - each part shall give only one vote to the participant, unless otherwise specified in the articles of association. The division of the register of members shall specify, inter alia, the number of votes resulting from the shares. For example, if a Member has 50 shares in a company and according to the articles of association one part gives 1 vote, the division of the register of shareholders shall indicate that the number of votes resulting from the shares is 50. However, if a shareholder has 50 shares in a company and according to the articles of association one part gives 3 votes, it shall be indicated in the division of the register of shareholders that the number of votes resulting from the shares shall be 150.

The division of the shareholders' register shall indicate, inter alia, the number of votes resulting from the shares. For example, if there are no classes of shares in the company (all shares are voting), each share gives one vote and the shareholder has 20 shares in the company, the division of the register of shareholders shall indicate that the number of votes resulting from the shares is 20 for the shareholder. However, if different categories of shares are provided for in the company, for example, shares with voting rights and preference shares (which do not give voting rights in accordance with the commercial Law) and the shareholder in the company has 50 shares with voting rights (where each share gives one vote) and 10 preference shares, it shall be indicated in the division of the shareholders Register that the number of votes resulting from the shares shall be 50 for the shareholder.
