Company limited by shares (AG) in Liechtenstein

The Aktiengesellschaft is Liechtenstein's share company: its capital is divided into shares, and only the company's own assets answer for its debts.

It is run by a board of directors (Verwaltungsrat), which also represents it externally. The general meeting of shareholders is the supreme organ. An auditor must be appointed; auditors appear in the Official Gazette's notices and therefore on the profile pages of this register.

For banks, insurers, asset-management companies and other supervised activities the AG is the usual vehicle — visible in the fact that FMA licence holders in this register are overwhelmingly companies limited by shares.
