5 things to know about Jersey Schemes of Arrangement
Jersey schemes of arrangement are a court procedure, the requirements for which are set out in article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 - schemes are now widely used for international M&A transactions
A scheme involves a two-part process – the Royal Court will first convene a meeting of the class (or classes) of shareholders affected by the transaction, and subsequently will consider sanctioning the scheme if certain tests are met
At the court-convened meeting, a majority in number of those voting, representing more than 75% of voting rights exercisable, will have to agree for the scheme to proceed to the sanction hearing
The sanction hearing is concerned with the fairness of the proposed transaction, whether the law has been complied with, and whether an intelligent and honest person might reasonably approve of the proposal If approved, and sanctioned by the court, the transaction will become effective upon the delivery of the Act of Court to the Registry of Companies in Jersey
