When anonymous shareholders do not register their shares, they will face great legal risks. The biggest risk is that nominal shareholders do not recognize anonymous shareholders as actual investors and compete with anonymous shareholders for equity. In order to regain fairness, the famous fairness can only be solved through litigation.

Shareholder qualification is the basis for investors to acquire and exercise shareholder rights and undertake shareholder obligations. Many people set up companies or participate in the establishment, or transfer company shares, or obtain technology shares, gift shares and so on. However, they encountered obstacles in exercising shareholders' rights and interests. Many times, they need to confirm their own equity, that is, to confirm their shareholder status in the company.
If the agreement signed between the major shareholder and the nominal shareholder is to circumvent the mandatory provisions of the law, such as the major shareholder cannot invest in the company and allows the nominal shareholder to set up a company as an investor to circumvent the mandatory provisions, then the agreement will inevitably be deemed invalid, the major shareholder will not be able to enjoy the rights of shareholders, and the company will also face a series of legal problems such as equity change, capital reduction and capital withdrawal. Anonymous shareholders do not violate mandatory laws and regulations, and major shareholders only contribute in the name of nominal shareholders. However, if most shareholders of the company know this situation, it is deemed that the major shareholder owns the equity, but the change registration of the shareholder register should be handled.
