From the articles of association of a Guatemalan corporation "La sociedad deberá llevar un registro de los títulos nominativos que emita, mismo que por lo menos contendrá el nombre y el domicilio del accionista, la indicación de las acciones que le pertenezcan, expresándose los números, series, clases y demás particularidades; en su caso, los llamamientos efectuados y los pagos hechos; . . ." Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

calls
Explanation:
"Calls" on capital are payments made by shareholders on demand as, for example, capital pay-up.

For reference, check the Google. Plenty of hits.

Or please check "call" at the "Black's Law Dictionary".

Good luck!

Just a tip: take a look at the relationship between \"llamamientos\" (calls) and \"pagos\" (patments) in the text.

Sorry for the \"patments\". Please read \"payments\".

cash calls


Explanation:
Actually, in a financial context the word "calls" is usually accompanied by the word "cash", and for your context, I think it would be better if you used both words so as to read "cash calls". Still, I think that more context AFTER the word "llamamientos" might be helpful, and I wouldn't totally discard the word summonses, either.

In a discussion on 14 companies alleging anti-expos conspiracy at http://www.baseballprimer.com/clutch/archives/00003956.shtml

\"I think Voros has explained it fairly well. Unlike with your typical public corporation, a lot of partnerships have this \"cash call\" or \"capital call\" mechanism in their partnership agreements (the contract which constitutes and governs the partnership). Essentially, it means that when the business needs to draw further capital to continue its operations, a partner (in a limited partnership, this would almost certainly be the general partner) can call on the others to pony up that capital. If any of them refuse, their share in the partnership is reduced or \"diluted\" because a greater share of the partnership is then issued to those who will invest in it.\"

Please see entire web page for more on cash calls and capital calls.

disagree  Ricardo Souza: Sorry, Bonita, but 'cash calls' and 'calls on capital' are not allways exaclty the same thing. Please, check your sources.

  -> Well, thanks, but I HAVE checked my sources, and the lowdown is "cash calls" and "calls on capital" or "capital calls" are one and the same (see addition with reference, and I have more)
