I am a shareholder, but not registered in the share register. How is that possible?

Every shareholder can prevent his name to show up in the share register by objecting to the entry with his bank. In this case, the respective bank acts as shareholder.

Some of the shareholders are astonished that they supposedly have already objected. Reason being may be that some banks have included this objection already by default at online registration.

Eligible for attendance at the shareholders' meeting, is the official shareholder. In case your bank is registered as shareholder you need to ask your bank to order a ticket for the meeting and to authorize you to attend.

In case you have any further questions regarding this topic, please contact your bank directly.
