Jakautumisjärjestelyille

Jakautumisjärjestelyille refers to the arrangements or procedures for a demerger in Finnish corporate law. A demerger is a process where a company divides its assets and liabilities into two or more new or existing companies. This can be done in various ways, such as a partial demerger or a complete demerger. In a partial demerger, a part of the company's business is transferred to a new or existing entity, while the original company continues its operations. In a complete demerger, the entire company is divided into new entities, and the original company ceases to exist.

The process of a demerger typically involves the preparation of a demerger plan, which outlines the details of the division, including the assets and liabilities to be transferred, the shares of the new companies, and the rights of the shareholders. This plan must be approved by the shareholders of the demerging company and often requires a court decision.

Jakautumisjärjestelyille can be undertaken for several reasons. Companies may choose to demerge to streamline operations, focus on core business activities, unlock shareholder value, or to comply with regulatory requirements. It can also be a strategy to separate different business units that have distinct market dynamics or growth potentials. The legal framework governing demergers in Finland is primarily found in the Companies Act. Understanding these arrangements is crucial for companies considering such a corporate restructuring.
