Changes in Corporate Law
The FBK Legal team has released a bulletin summarising key changes in corporate law — a practical overview for businesses.
The bulletin sheds light on the following issues:
-
Fair value upon withdrawal from an LLC — consideration of goodwill for market valuation of an ownership interest.
-
Stability of transactions following a change of ownership — protection against challenges by a new owner to transactions concluded under the previous owner.
-
Simplification of holding structures — legal recognition of nested corporate structures (the so-called ‘matryoshka companies’).
-
Flexibility of pre-emptive rights — the possibility to limit or waive such rights in the company charter.
-
Liability for representations in M&As — the seller bears liability even when due diligence has been conducted.
-
Protection against minority shareholder dilution — additional share issuances require economic justification.
