/ˈaktsi̯ənɡəˌzɛlʃaft]/ or /ɑː ɡeɪ (n.)
The colloquial name for an “Aktien Gesellschaft” , being a “stock corporation” — in other words, a limited liability company in Germany and certain Germanic countries, like Austria and parts of Switzerland.
An AG is different to the similar “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung” (of GmbH German: /ɡeɪ ɛm biː hɑː/; English /ʤiː ɛm biː eɪʧ/) in thatshareholders can stick their beaks in uninvited and tell the board of a GmbH what to do. They cannot, unless invited by the board to do so, for an AG.
