Reading the cap table
The cap table is organised into sections by security type. Within each section, every row represents one shareholder’s position in that security class. The columns are:| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Shareholder | The name of the individual, company, or fund entity holding this position |
| Security | The specific security class (e.g. Ordinary A shares, Series 1 Warrants) |
| Units | The number of units held by this shareholder in this security |
| Ownership % | This shareholder’s proportional stake in the fully diluted share count, expressed as a percentage |
Security types shown
The cap table surfaces three categories of securities:- Shares — ordinary and preference shares, representing direct equity ownership. Each share class may carry different voting rights and liquidation preferences.
- Options — employee or investor options and warrants, including their exercise price, exercise window, and underlying share class. Options are shown on a fully diluted basis.
- Convertibles — convertible instruments such as standard convertibles, shown alongside their conversion terms and the share class they convert into.
Ownership percentages
Ownership percentages are calculated on a fully diluted basis by default, meaning options and convertibles are included in the denominator as if they had already converted or been exercised. This gives you the most conservative view of any one shareholder’s stake.Downloading the Share Register
The share register is a formal document — typically an Excel or PDF depending on the country — that records all shareholders and their holdings as at the date of the most recent security event.If the Share Register button is disabled with a tooltip that reads No share register exists, the document has not yet been generated for this company. Contact operations@gocenti.com to have it created.
