⚠️ 5 Warning Signs That Your Company’s Shareholding Structure May Involve a “Nominee Arrangement”


1️⃣ Unclear identity and relationship of the major shareholder

The shareholder (especially a Thai shareholder) has no family relationship with the actual core management or controlling shareholder, no clear business relationship, and cannot clearly explain the legitimate source of their investment funds.


2️⃣ Complex structure or cross-shareholding arrangements

The use of holding companies or offshore entities to create multi-layer shareholding structures intended to conceal the identity of the ultimate beneficial owners.


3️⃣ Abnormal voting behavior

The major shareholder consistently votes according to the instructions of management or a specific individual, never expressing independent opinions or reflecting the legitimate interests of a shareholder.


4️⃣ No True Transaction

Share transfers or capital increases occur without actual funds entering the company, or transaction prices deviate significantly from normal market value.


5️⃣ Unusual relationships of directors or authorized signatories

Company directors or authorized signatories are also the individuals controlling other companies with potential conflicts of interest or suspected nominee arrangements.


Establish proper corporate structures and stay away from legal risks.
