Directive (EU) 2019/2121: Improving Mobility of Companies Across the European Union Corporate and M&A

Directive (EU) 2019/2121: Improving Mobility of Companies Across the European Union

Matters of cross-border company mobility are addressed at European Union level by means of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 (the “2017 Directive”) which provides for cross-border mergers and domestic divisions of public limited liability companies. The 2017 Directive, however, neither provides for cross-border divisions nor for re-domiciliation of companies within the European Union, with companies registered under the laws of Member States having to rely on their national law provisions should they wish to continue as being registered under the laws of another Member State. The lack of a legal framework for cross-border conversions and divisions leads to legal uncertainty and barriers…

EU Introduces Directive to Improve Gender Balance on Companies’ Boards of Directors

Over the past few weeks, the European Union has issued somewhat of a landmark act which is aimed at addressing the topical issue surrounding the lack of women in top-level corporate positions. Following nearly a decade of negotiations after its first proposal in 2012 by the European Commission, the Union has introduced the so-called “Women on Boards” Directive: Directive 2022/2381 on improving the gender balance among directors of listed companies and related measures (the “Directive”). The Directive’s principle objective is that at least forty percent of non-executive director posts, or a third of all director posts on publicly-listed corporations, irrespective…

Introducing Maritime and Aviation Cell Companies to Malta

With this introduction into local law, the shipping and aviation sectors in Malta now have an effective tool with which to segregate and protect the cellular and other assets of the company from the core cell company and from other individual cells, allowing for the structuring and ring-fencing of each cell. During the seminar,…
