When a 20% shareholder, a board member or the director sits on both sides — the disinterested decide.
A deal is interested where a shareholder with twenty per cent or more of the votes (counting affiliates), a board member, the director or a member of the collegial executive — or their spouse, parents, children or siblings, or their affiliates — is the counterparty, acts for third parties against the company, holds twenty per cent or more of the counterparty, or sits in its management. Such a deal cannot be concluded without consent: the disinterested shareholders decide by majority, and where a supervisory board exists the charter may hand it deals of up to five per cent of assets. (LLC Law, Art. 49 — lex.uz ↗)
The procedure is written out: the related party notifies the company of the planned deal in writing, the executive studies it within three business days, and the board decides within fifteen days of the notification — with two or more affiliated board members, the meeting decides instead. Deals in the ordinary course of business that predate the interest run without a fresh decision until the next meeting. (LLC Law, Arts. 49, 57–58 — lex.uz ↗)
A deal concluded in breach may be invalidated by court on the company’s or a shareholder’s claim, and the interested person answers for the losses. A shareholder holding five per cent or more may commission an audit organisation at their own expense to examine a suspect deal — reimbursed by the company if a court confirms the breach.
