Suciu Popa successfully represented Rompetrol Well Services in a corporate dispute generated by one of its minority shareholders. The claim sought to cancel a decision of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders  on the argument that the votes of a present but abstaining shareholder were taken into account when determining the quorum, as well as to oblige the board to reconvene the EGMS.

The court's solution is relevant as it clarifies the scope of the limitations provided by art. 127 of Law no. 31/1990 for shareholders in conflict of interests, while establishing that the votes of a shareholder in conflict of interests must be taken into account when determining the necessary quorum for the meeting. At the same time, the court decision confirms the inexistence of the board of directors’ obligation to automatically reconvene the EGMS in case the meeting quorum is not met, as well as the lack of standing of the Board of Directors in the event it does not receive a shareholder request for reconvening the EGMS.

The team that successfully handled this dispute was led by Miruna Suciu - Managing Partner) and Dan Ciobanu - Partner, as well as by Radu Chiran - Managing Associate.
