Zakah on shares, stock, options and bonds : Zakah on promoter holding

Fatawa Question

Asalamualikum : My question is regarding Zakah. In case of person who holds promoter stake in a publically listed company ,what is the ruling of Zakah. Eg a person who is promoter of company holds 40 % stake in that company. The market capitalization of the company is say USD 500 million. That means the value of the promoters stake is USD 200 million. He does not trade in these shares and neither intends to sell this stake. He is getting yearly dividend on this holding . Is Zakah payable only on the dividend income in his case ? Wasalam
