Business Discussion on Major Transaction and Related-Party Transaction Reform and Implications for Business
We would like to invite you to join us for a business discussion entitled “Major transaction and related-party transaction reform: implications for business”, organised by EPAM. The event will take place on 27 October (Thursday) from 10:00 till 13:00 at the St. Petersburg office of the Firm: 24, Nevsky Pr., 4th floor (metro station Nevsky Prospekt).
Minority shareholders often resort to disputing major transactions and related-party transactions as a tool to defend their interests. As of 1 January 2017, the procedure for closing or challenging deals in joint stock companies and LLCs will be significantly changed. What will be the consequences of this change for businesses and what measures can major companies take beforehand to prevent excessive use of this mechanism by minority shareholders?
During the discussion, the Firm’s corporate law and litigation experts will talk about the key changes introduced by the reform and about new strategies for challenging deals.*
Topics to be discussed:
- Key issues in major transaction and related-party transaction reform
- New developments regarding the definition of interest (the notion of a controlling party). Approval procedure for related-party transactions under the new rules
