Merging is a process in which two or more companies (companies to be acquired) transfer all their property to a newly founded company (acquiring company). In the event of a merger, the merging company ceases to exist without winding-up proceedings. As a result, the rights and obligations of the company to be acquired are transferred to the acquiring company. The reorganisation shall be carried out in two stages.

We note that under commercial Law, participants/shareholders have the right to participate and vote in the meeting remotely, or to vote before the meeting. Read more in the Explanatory Notes on Remote participation in meetings of Members, shareholders and Members section.
