The meeting approves the merger proposal as it was filed with the registry of the enterprise court, and expresses its approval of the transaction involving the limited company "SENIOR PUBLICATIONS", aforementioned, by way of a transaction equivalent to a merger by acquisition, in which it is taken over by the present company "ROULARTA MEDIA GROUP".
The meeting thus approves the transfer of ownership of the capital of the company being acquired.
As a result of this transaction, the entire capital of the company being acquired is transferred, without exception or reservation, to the present company under universal title.
No shares will be issued since the present company owns all the shares of the company being acquired.
From 1 January 2020, the transactions carried out by the company being acquired are deemed to have been performed for the account of the acquiring company. This transaction equivalent to a merger by acquisition legally takes effect on 1 July 2020 at midnight.
There are no associates in the company being acquired who have special rights, nor holders of securities other than shares.
No special benefit is granted to the directors and the statutory manager of the companies involved in this transaction.
The meeting then requested that the transfer of ownership under universal title of the capital of the company being acquired to the acquiring company be adopted and cognisance taken of the manner in which it was transferred.
The entire equity of the company being acquired, assets as well as liabilities, with nothing reserved nor excluded, as they appear on the statement of assets and liabilities of the company being acquired adopted on 31 December 2019, will be transferred to the present company.
The transfer of the entire capital of the company being acquired to the present company also includes its activities, with the associated permits, certifications and/or the benefit of their registration, the right to the (trade) name, brands and logos of the company being acquired, the clientele, the benefit of the business organisation, the accounting, in short all intangible elements that are specific to and related to this totality of assets.
The capital transfer, which takes place by way of a transfer under general title, includes all current agreements that the company being acquired has made. These commitments, regardless of with whom they are concluded, including those entered into with the government, with its own employees and appointees and with respect to its own bodies and shareholders, transfer in full to the present company with all the rights and obligations arising therefrom, without any other formality being required than the legally required disclosure of the merger resolution in order to make this transfer enforceable against all. The archives of the company being acquired, including all books and documents, that it is legally obliged to keep and retain, will be retained by the present company from the commencement of the merger.
The securities and guarantees attached to the commitments taken on or made by the company being acquired in favour of the company being acquired to guarantee commitments made by or against it are fully preserved.
Processing of the capital transfer in the accounting of the acquiring company.
All assets and liabilities of the company being acquired, including the various components of equity, depreciation, impairment losses and provisions made, rights and obligations, as well as revenue and costs for the financial year, are recognised in the accounts of the present company at the value at which they appeared in the accounts of the company being acquired on 31 December 2019.
The meeting establishes that since the general meeting of the company being acquired held immediately prior to this meeting, together with the general meeting of this company, approved the merger proposal with effect from 1 July 2020 at midnight, the company to be acquired will cease to exist from that date. The undersigning civil-law notary confirms that the resolution taken at this meeting is indeed in line with and in accordance with the decisions on the same merger proposal taken at the general meeting of the acquired company, the minutes of which were also prepared immediately prior to this notarial deed, such that the merger takes effect on 1 July 2020 at midnight and the aforementioned acquired company will cease to exist from 1 July 2020 at midnight.
