The court allowed to transfer the remaining shares of Ignitis Gamyba to Ignitis Group
AB “Ignitis grupė” (hereinafter – the Company) informs that on 27 August 2021 the Vilnius District Court (hereinafter – the Court) made a decision to approve the Company’s statement on the establishment and recognition of a fact of legal significance that the right of ownership of 574,803 units of ordinary nominal shares of its subsidiary AB “Ignitis gamyba” (hereinafter – Ignitis Gamyba), which belonged to the deceased shareholders of Ignitis Gamyba and which were not transferred during the mandatory buyout, must be transferred to the Company and obliged the shares accounts managers to make records of the transfer of the rights of ownership to the Company.
The Company believes that the Court’s decision is lawful and reasonable and that it fully complies with the requirements of legal acts. The Court allowed the decision to be enforced urgently, however, the Court’s decision may be appealed within 30 days from the moment of its adoption.
It must be noted that the Court has divided the Company’s statement earlier into two separate cases – a case where the stakeholders are the deceased shareholders of Ignitis Gamyba and a case where the stakeholders are all the remaining shareholders of Ignitis Gamyba. The Court decision is related only to Ignitis Gamyba shares, the owners of which were identified as deceased. Surnames of the persons who owned shares in respect of which the Court made the decision can be found in the specialised website , in a court notice section .
As the Company announced earlier, on 30 April 2021 the Court had already made a decision in the case where the shareholders of Ignitis Gamyba were not identified as deceased to approve the Company’s statement on the establishment and recognition of a fact of legal significance that 11,113,442 units out of 11,688,245 units of unsold shares during the mandatory buyout of shares of its subsidiary Ignitis Gamyba are the property of the Company and obliged the shares accounts managers to make records of the transfer of the rights of ownership to the Company . The aforementioned Court decision has already been enforced and is effective.
After the enforcement of the Court decision of 27 August 2021 the Company will obtain 100% of Ignitis Gamyba’s shares
