The transfer of the listed office of a capital company from Latvia to another Member State of the European Union is understood as a cross-border reorganization. As a result, the company continues to operate in another EU Member State but is barred from the marketable register in Latvia. The Enterprise Register doesn’t check whether the documents of the recently created marketable company (papers of association, the composition of the board, etc.) adhere to the laws of the entering State.
Still, the amended company must initiate the reorganization process by submitting the amended draft reorganization contract to the Enterprise Register. If the draft reorganization agreement has been submitted to the Enterprise Register and is attached to the company enrollment case. A meeting of shareholders shall, not earlier than one month after the publication of the draft amend the reorganization agreement, examine the draft contract and take a decision regarding reorganization. However, the announcement to creditors shall be repeated after the decision of the meeting of the members, If the company had formerly issued a notice to creditors regarding the reorganization in the formal publication Latvijas Vēstnesis.
At the same time, it should be noted that if one of the companies involved in the reorganization changed the name or was converted into another type of company during the reorganization, it shouldn’t be considered as the base for amending the draft reorganization agreement.
We point out that, according to Commercial Law, members/ shareholders have the right to share and bounce at the meeting or to bounce before the meeting.
