What are the Corporation's Registers?
Once the corporation has been organized, the various registers found in the corporation's minute book must be completed.
This lists the names of all the directors along with their addresses, the date on which they became a director and the date on which they ceased to be one.
Entered in this register is the name and address of every person who holds shares in the corporation, along with the date on which they became a shareholder and the date on which they ceased to be one.
This lists the names of individuals that have direct or indirect ownership or control of the corporation. This register is more recent following a desire for more transparency. Currently, Federal and Quebec corporations have some public disclosure of these individuals.
This lists in alphabetical order the name and address of each shareholder for each class of shares, along with the date on which the shares were purchased, the share certificate number, the price paid for each share, the total amount paid and the aggregate number of shares held by each shareholder.
Entered in this register are all stock transfers that have taken place over time, including the number and date of the transfer, the name of the transferor and transferee, the number of shares transferred and both the certificate number that was cancelled and issued.
