Quick Summary
This discussion explores the maximum shareholding an individual can hold in a listed public limited company. While one might assume an individual could buy all shares, regulations often dictate otherwise. For private companies, there are specific minimum and maximum shareholder numbers. In contrast, for listed public companies, there isn't a specified limit on individual shareholding, though unlisted companies have different rules.

One person can buy all the applications I guess. That is because, share are issued to who ever will buy, or prorated if the applications are more than authorised shares

Thank you, but we cannot go by guesses. We go by the law of the land. Please confirm .

There must be a minimum of 2 shareholders and a maximum of 200. For directors, the minimum is 2 and the maximum is 15.

That is for a private company and when it is public company, minimum shareholders is seven at start up and subsequently maximum numbers of the shares are traded to general public. So is the case with private

In listed company no limit specified but unlisted 99% shares can be hold by individual
Thank you all...
