Tax Flash No. 6/2012
Government Emergency Ordinance 2/2012 amending and supplementing the Company Law 31/1990 was published in Official Gazette 143/2012
- The Ordinance provides simplification measures regarding procedural aspects of national and crossborder mergers and spin-offs in which companies take part.
With the Ordinance being enforced, for reorganisations of such nature, reporting obligations towards shareholders and associates and other information formalities are simplified. Among these, the Ordinance provides the option to announce the merger/spin-off project via the web page of the companies involved instead of publishing it in the Official Gazette and also introduces simplified procedures for mergers by absorption when the absorbing entity holds at least 90% shares within the absorbed companies and for spin-offs when the participants in the initial legal entity benefit from an unchanged distribution of shares in the successor legal entities.
