Die Einführung eines Scheme of Arrangement in das deutsche Aktienrecht

In the discussion on the reform of the German stock corporation law, the term scheme of arrangement is gaining increasing prominence. This instrument, known from English law, enables a majority shareholder to implement a wide range of corporate measures even against the will of a dissenting minority. The author explores whether the introduction of a scheme of arrangement based on the English model is a suitable way to adequately address the need for reform in Germany. Furthermore, the author examines how a scheme of arrangement would have to be structured under German law in order to seamlessly fit into the existing stock corporation law.
