ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The programme will examine the various matters that affect members of private companies either in terms of the Companies Act or as a matter of law and to discuss how these can be dealt with in a shareholders’ agreement, particularly with the purpose of safeguarding individual shareholders’ or class of shares interests. 

While such special safeguards could be contained in the memorandum or articles of association, which will bind the company and its members, the memorandum and articles by themselves will not always afford the protection because they are capable of being amended by special resolution. 

This programme includes a review of the statutory provisions and authorities relating to various aspects as well as the manner in which these aspects are dealt with in commercial shareholders’ agreements based on the views and experience of the commercial legal community in Cyprus arising from litigation involving disputes between shareholders and the drafting of shareholders’ agreements and articles of private companies.
