When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

registered shareholder
In English, a registered shareholder is one whose name and other details are registered with the company and who generally has a right to attend general shareholders meetings/assemblies.
Q: What is a registered stockholder?
A: A registered shareholder is the owner of the stock as recorded by the transfer agent. The registered shareholder's name appears on the stock certificate.
Q: What if I hold shares through a broker?
A: Transfer agents do not keep track of shares traded or held through brokerage accounts -- those records are maintained by the brokerage. Stocks that are held in a brokerage account are considered to be held in "street name," which means that those shares are held on behalf of the stockholder by the broker. Because of this, the transfer agent considers the brokerage to be the registered shareholder. Brokerages keep track of their clients' accounts and provide their clients with information regarding their BRE shares, including the delivery of proxy materials and distribution of dividends.

Note from asker:
| Hi, I now think the expression must refer to a shareholder with preferential rights. Thanks anyway, Ian Blockey |
| Hi again, I've now found this use of the term: "Los derechos de suscripción preferente se asignarán a los accionistas de la Sociedad que aparezcan legitimados como tales en los registros de Santander Investment, Sociedad Anónima (entidad encargada del registro contable de las acciones de la Sociedad) .... (en adelante, los “Accionistas Legitimados”)", so you must be right, I reckon |

recognized shareholder
In this case, "legitimado" is best translated as "recognized." Recognized shareholders of a company's stock publicly disclose their ownership status.

Depending on the context, however, it could be possible to translate the phrase as "rightful shareholder," but this is less likely.
