In the case of a merger of non-trading companies, if the Articles of Association provide for consultation of the shareholders of the acquiring company, such consultation is not required if, from the filing of the draft terms of merger until the completion of the transaction, the acquiring company holds at least 90% of the shares in the acquired company.
However, one or more shareholders of the acquiring company holding at least 5% of the share capital may apply to the courts for the appointment of an agent for the purpose of causing the shareholders of the acquiring company to be consulted so that they may decide whether to approve the merger.
