Grading comment
This is more or less what I went with, but as the distinction does not seem to exist in English, I called this one "outside proxy (Fremdbesitz)".

Thanks to you all for your help.

Explanation:
This is not my field of expertise, but Zahn offers minority interest as one of several translations of Fremdbesitz. A relative/acquaintance with a minority interest?

Third party nominee


Explanation:
I think the idea is that they want the voting rights "asigned" either to someone - presumably a shareholder - who has official authorisation to vote on another's behalf ("Vollmacht")or a third party ("fremder").

Only a thought.

The \"Besitz\" refers to holding voting rights.
