Armenia: Prevention of Leadership Duality
3rd March 2020 When attempting to create corporations that safeguard the interests of shareholders, many companies implement a two-tier corporate hierarchy. At the first level is the board of directors: elected by the shareholders and on the second tier is the upper management: hired by the board. The one-tier board provides a better understanding of the operational issues at board level and clearer direction; nevertheless, it can simultaneously be hard for other board members to challenge a powerful Chief executive Director (CEO) who is also the Chairman of the Board (Chair).M&A: Share acquisition of IT companies – tax it or pass it?
13th December 2019Expansion of the business places the manager in front of the classical choice – grow organically or make an acquisition?

Mergers and Acquisitions: Exceptions of exercise of pre-emptive rights in Armenia
22nd June 2018Mergers and acqusitions in the banking industry has been buoyant for the past couple of years in Armenia. This activity has been fuelled by the regulatory requirements for increase of the charter capital of the banks due to the desire of the regulator, the Central Bank of Armenia, to see larger and predictable players in the market easy to supervise. This has been coupled with the increasing interests of international players and investors towards the robust banking sector or Armenia which has offered stable exchange rates and much higher interest on debt and equity compared to that of developed markets such as Western Europe, North America and Middle East.
