Under the corresponding Sell-out procedure, the minority shareholders have the right to request purchase of their shares by the majority shareholder, by sending a respective written request to the JSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For both cases, the purchase price should be determined based on the highest of (i) the price paid by the majority shareholder or its affiliates for the direct or indirect acquisition of the shares during the recent 12 months before the date when the major stake was acquired, or (ii) market price as determined by a licensed appraiser. Ukrainian market anticipates are that these new rules will help the majority shareholders to acquire complete control over the JSCs in a clear way whereas sell-out, in particular, will provide the minority shareholders with the possibility to obtain a fair price for their shares. In addition, it is expected that the long-standing issue of &#8220;dormant shareholders&#8221; will be ultimately resolved, and the Ukrainian investment climate will further improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a few days, the Law of Ukraine &#8220;On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine regarding Improvement of Corporate Governance in Joint Stock Companies&#8221; No. 2302\u0430-\u0434 dated 23 March 2017 (the &#8220;Law&#8221;) will become effective.
