Cererea de chemare in judecata urmarea anularea unei hotarari a adunarii generale extraordinare a actionarilor pe motiv ca voturile unui actionar ce s-a abtinut de la vot au fost luate in calcul la stabilirea cvorumului, precum si obligarea consiliului de administratie la reconvocarea adunarii.
Solutia instantei prezinta relevanta in contextul in care clarifica intinderea interdictiilor stabilite de art. 127 din Legea nr. 31/1990 pentru actionarii aflati in conflict de interese, respectiv stabileste faptul ca voturile unui actionar care se abtine de la vot trebuie sa fie luate in considerare la stabilirea cvorumului necesar pentru desfasurarea sedintei. Totodata, solutia stabileste inexistenta in sarcina Consiliului de Administratie a unei obligatii de reconvocare automata a AGEA in ipoteza in care se constata neindeplinirea cvormului, precum si lipsa calitatii procesuale pasive a Consiliului de Administratie in ipoteza in care acestuia nu i s-a adresat o solicitare de reconvocare a AGEA.

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.
