Shareholder Changes in Zimbabwe Companies

A shareholder change filing records movements in a company's shares — transfers between holders, new allotments, or changes to the particulars of an existing shareholder.

Partzile captures the shareholding split, generates the draft form and lodges the filing after review.

• Companies bringing in a new shareholder or investor
• Companies recording a transfer or sale of shares

Share-related notifications use the prescribed CR forms under S.I. 46 of 2020. Where a shareholder is an entity, beneficial ownership particulars are also required.

Do I need beneficial ownership details?

Yes, where a shareholder is an entity rather than a natural person, the ultimate beneficial owners of those shares must be disclosed with the same particulars required for directors.

Can preference shares be recorded?

Yes. The platform distinguishes ordinary shares, redeemable and non-redeemable preference shares, and allows other share classes to be specified.

Is a resolution required?

Supporting resolutions and transfer documents should be uploaded so your compliance officer can verify the change.
