Rueck...halten

English translation: Rueck and Anteile go together (one word)

German term or phrase: Rueck...halten
Solange X Rueck Anteile an dem Unternehmen halte, habe das Unternehmen die Moeglichkeit eines Vertreters in den board des Unternehmens zu entsenden.

I've never seen this used exactly this way. This is just another way of saying "zurueckhalten" and would thus mean "retain" or the like?

Thanks.

English translation:Rueck and Anteile go together (one word)
Explanation:
Thus: As xx holds (or: possesses or retains) Rueckanteile . . .
I don't know what Rueckanteile are, but they may be retroshares or something like that.

They may be \"return shares.\" I really don\'t know exactly.

'return to sender'..!


Explanation:
Not only is the 'Rueck Anteile' bit confusing, the second half of the sentence is grammatically inadmissible as well. Please check the source again so we can judge on accurate information. And if the source still says the same thing, well...;-(

Sorry if I sounded a bit tetchy, Ron. My suggestion in that case is to wonder if Rueck may be another proper name and it\'s about X and Rueck holding shares in the company. And despite the dodgy grammar, the second part is at least decipherable as to what it presumably means. Never mind dodgy grammar, though, what about dodgy clients who won\'t send decent text?!

By the way, I suggest Rueck as a proper noun because I couldn\'t find a single hit for Rueckanteile - except I did get one single hit, and that was to do with the interior fittings of a car!!
