## Definition

Share in a company that carries with it certain special rights. As a rule, a state owns these special shares. In Europe - except Germany - this mostly concerns former state-owned companies that have been transferred into private ownership. As a rule, the golden share here prevents individual shareholders from increasing their stake in the company above a certain threshold (the golden share prevents another shareholder from increasing his stake above a certain threshold).
