Shareholders´ Agreements between the Law of Contract and Competition
Original language description
Shareholders’ agreements are significant especially when examining the competitive behaviour in relation to the concentrations of competitors. Their relationship toward agreements distorting competition (cartels) is more marginal. A shareholders’ agreement may meet the criteria for joint control not only by acquiring a controlling packet of shares, but also as a result of the acquisition of minority shares under certain circumstances – especially if it is of sufficiently long duration to be able to influence (interfere with) competition on the relevant market substantially. A shareholders’ agreement may establish a “de facto fusion/merger”, that need not necessarily be of a nature of structural (formal) market change but it may rather have similar consequences although the change itself amounts only to a mere behavioural change. From the anti-trust-law point of view, even the potentiality of influence is legally relevant.
