Einflusswahrung

Ein Seminar von AVCO und Aktienforum durchgeführt von HLMK Rechtsanwälte

Wie stellen die bisherigen Eigentümer von Unternehmen beim Hinzukommen von Eigenkapitalgebern als neue Miteigentümern sicher, dass alle ein gemeinsames Ziel verfolgen und der jeweilige Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft bestmöglich aufgeteilt ist? Vielfach werden Beteiligungsgespräche geführt, lange bevor ein Anwalt eingeschaltet wird. Soll das vorab Besprochene dann durch Rechtsanwälte umgesetzt werden, sind die Weichen oft schon gestellt. Es ist daher nicht das Verhandlungsgeschick alleine, welches den weiteren Weg des Unternehmens bestimmt. Entscheidend ist auch, dass im Falle der Hereinnahme von Investoren die (Alt-) Eigentümern schon vorab über die breite Palette von Alternativen Bescheid wissen, um zu einer tragfähigen Kooperation zu finden und um sicher zu stellen, dass der Einfluss auf das Unternehmen den Interessen der Eigentümer größtmöglich gerecht wird und gewahrt bleibt.
Diese gilt es bereits in Vorgesprächen geschickt einzusetzen. Das Seminar soll die wichtigsten Möglichkeiten der Einflusswahrung auf Gesellschafterebene einerseits sowie auf Ebene zwischen den Gesellschaftern und Geschäftsführern andererseits darstellen. Welche (Gegen-)Strategien dabei Venture Capital Geber zur Wahrung ihrer Interessen verfolgen können, wird ebenso Gegenstand des Vortrags sein.

Vortragende
• Dr. Wolfgang Luschin, HLMK
• Dr. Gerhard Hochedlinger, HLMK

Zielgruppe
Eigentümer von Unternehmen, die erwägen, Investoren in die Gesellschaft auf Gesellschafterebene aufzunehmen. Das Seminar ist auch für Nichtjuristen geeignet, sodass dem Vortrag auch ju¬ristisch nicht einschlägig vorgebildete Personen folgen können.

Key subjects to be covered include:

• Pure play or multi-play GPs? - will the mega-buy out trend to diversification roll into the mid market?
• Portfolio management – is operational excellence now the key to best returns?
• Gearing up for 2011 – are the debt markets about to open up again?
• Fundraising – is it time for LPs to call the shots?

+   AIFMD in the context of current and future EU financial markets regulation
+   The impact of the Directive on global private equity markets
+   How AIFMD will affect fundraising within and outside the EU
+   Portfolio management in a new regulatory environment
+   Further regulatory developments affecting the industry

This Summit, convened by EVCA members, brings together for the first time those who drafted, negotiated and contested the Directive.
