The new cross-border merger, division, and conversion regime:  step-back or amazing opportunity?

Maison Moderne

EU Directive 2019/2121 will be transposed shortly in Luxembourg company law by Bill n°8053 and will thoroughly reform the current cross-border merger, division and conversion regime. Whilst its sophisticated procedure and elaborate safeguards for minority shareholders, creditors and employees appear intimidating, it also represents an amazing opportunity for a liberal and mobility-friendly jurisdiction such as Luxembourg.

Frequently perceived as a step-back in terms of free movement of companies within the internal market, EU Directive 2019/2121 will thoroughly reform the European cross-border merger regime and introduce for the first time an at least partially harmonized procedure for cross-border divisions and conversions. Its transposition in Luxembourg company law represents a significant game-changer that will thoroughly reshape the landscape of cross-border operations.

However, underneath its protectionist and restrictive appearance, the European harmonization of cross-border mergers, divisions and conversions represents an amazing opportunity for a liberal and mobility-friendly jurisdiction such as Luxembourg.
