:: JOINT STOCK COMPANY

For Joint Stock companies whose shares are not offered to the public:

•  The minimum share capital is: LE 250,000 (US$70,000),

•  Stock exchange registration is obligatory after the third year's published accounts.

For Joint Stock companies whose shares are offered to the public:

•  The minimum share capital is: LE 500,000,

•  Stock exchange registration is obligatory within one year of formation.

Usually three founders are required, although a company established in a Free Zone only requires two founders.

Upon application for incorporation, at least 10% of the nominal price of the share capital must be paid up to be increased to 25% within three months provided that issued capital is fully subscribed to. A joint stock company may also have authorized but un-issued capital at the time of incorporation. Those companies formed by public subscription no longer have to comply with the rule that 49% of the shares must be offered to the Egyptian public.
