Part 14: Have you already thought of it? - Surfish at the shareholders' meeting
In certain cases, a partner may be able to arrange for an extraordinary general meeting at your own initiative. Minority shareholders are also not lawless in this situation.
According to Section 50 (1) GmbHG, shareholders who are at least 10 % involved in the share capital of the GmbH require the managing director to convene the assembly ( convenient request ). In particular, the shareholders must specify the desired object of resolution and the purpose of the shareholders' meeting. It makes sense to transmit the desired agenda. You also have to state the reasons why the meeting should come together at the usual cycle.
If the prerequisites are available, the managing director must act and the shareholders' meeting must be called by announcing the agenda. If the management refuses, the shareholder can work himself and cause the convening instead of the management itself.
Conclusion: (minority) shareholders should know their rights and use them aggressively to take the desired influence on the business of society.
