Document background
The Shareholder Confirmation Letter is an essential corporate document used in Hong Kong to provide formal verification of shareholding details and associated rights. It is typically required in various business scenarios, such as when shareholders need to prove their ownership status to banks, regulatory authorities, or potential business partners. The document is governed by Hong Kong's Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and follows local corporate governance requirements. Companies issue these letters to confirm various aspects of shareholding, including the number of shares held, share class, percentage ownership, voting rights, and any applicable restrictions. The letter serves as official documentation for regulatory compliance, due diligence processes, loan applications, or other corporate transactions where proof of shareholding is required.
