At the end of 2024, the European Union adopted Directive (EU) 2024/2810 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 on multiple-vote share structures in companies that seek admission to trading of their shares on a multilateral trading facility. Within the BCV, a working group was established to examine the directive and its potential transposition into Belgian company law. This working group consisted of (in alphabetical order): Carl Clottens, Steven Declercq, Jeroen Delvoie, Stijn Deschepper, Thierry L’Homme, Theo Monnens, Michiel Stuyts, Tom Vos and Marieke Wyckaert. The result is a comprehensive proposal for transposition addressed to the Belgian legislator, which also aims to facilitate broader policy reform.
The French translation of the proposals is not yet final and remains incomplete. It will be finalized at a later stage.
