A few questions:

Do you want comments about the English?

Are your three "sentences" (groups of words) meant to be separated from each other?

No, it's actually one sentence, but the middle part is the part I need help with. That's why I seperated it.

Rückwirkend zum 1. Januar 2013 wird die Hälfte / werden 50 % der Geschäftsanteile (mit den Nummern 251 bis 500) auf den (namentlich) benannten Erwerber übertragen.

PPS: Warum fragst du das im Sprachlabor? Brauchst du gar keine Übersetzung?

Well, I'm not a corporate lawyer and am therefore no expert on how these things are usually worded. But I will say that yours is confusing and, on that basis, needs rewriting.

Here's something for you to consider:


For consideration stated below, [comma] the named "TRANSFEROR" does hereby transfer 50 percent of the shares (those numbered 251 to 500) to the named "TRANSFEREE," retroactive to January 1, 2013.

This transfer is subject to the several conditions on which the shares are now held by the Transferor, [comma] and the Transferee hereby agrees to accept and hold the shares subject to the same conditions.

Ich brauche keine Übersetzung. Ich möchte gerne wissen, ob

hereby transfer 50 % of the company shares to ABC retroactively to Jan. 1, 2013

richtiges English ist.

Danke!

OK, sorry, das war unklar

Zum Englischen sage ich als DMS lieber nichts.

Some style notes: If you use the % symbol, English does not typically include a space between it and the value. As Happy Warrior indicated, some would prefer that you write it out as either "percent" or "per cent" (the former is more typically, but not exclusively, AE, while the latter is more typically, but not exclusively, BE).

@ HappyWarrior

retroactive to?

not "retroactiveLY ?


Thank you!

I would use "retroactive to" for your sentence.

I understand why you're thinking of the adverbial form, EICHHÖRNCHEN, but "retroactive to" is used in such a phrase:

The new tax will be retroactive to January 1.
