When does a deal with a related party need approval in an Uzbek LLC?

Short answer

When a 20% shareholder, a board member or the director sits on both sides — the disinterested decide.

20%Who counts as interested — a shareholder holding twenty per cent or more together with affiliates, a board member, the director or an executive — reaching through spouses, parents, children and siblings (LLC Law, Art. 49 — lex.uz ↗)
DisinterestedWho approves — the deal needs the meeting’s consent by a majority of the votes of shareholders not interested in it; the interested person neither discusses nor votes (LLC Law, Art. 49 — lex.uz ↗)
10%Big deals get valued — at ten per cent of net assets and above, a market appraisal and a review by an independent audit organisation are obligatory (LLC Law, Art. 58 — lex.uz ↗)
DiscloseThe paper trail is mandatory — the related party notifies the company in writing, and the deals become part of the annual report (LLC Law, Art. 56 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

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. (LLC Law, Arts. 49, 59 — lex.uz ↗)
