O delisting

: a sua admissibilidade no ordenamento jus-mobiliário português e a tutela das minorias

Abstract

The following essay will deal with the delisting of shares of the regulated markets, a subject that, unlike what happens in other legal systems, has been very little targeted by, not only the Portuguese doctrine but also by the Portuguese lawmaker. This lack of interest has serious consequences, especially when we look to the complexity inherent to the balance of the opposed interests that surround the delisting phenomenon. On the next pages, in addition to an introductory analysis of the concept, the delisting’ regime in Portugal will be deeply assessed: is a hot delisting admissible in Portugal? Are there any mechanisms capable of protecting the minority shareholders’ interests without neglecting the development of the issuing company or its dominant shareholders’ interests? These are the questions that we aim to answer.
