  • Liability of Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director-A Scandinavian Perspective
    Liability of Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director-A Scandinavian Perspective PROFESSOR ROLF DOTEVALL* I. Introduction In Scandinavian countries, questions concerning the liability of the company manage- ment have attracted great interest in recent years. Due to several highly publicized financial scandals that took place in the early 1990s in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, these coun- tries extensively revised their Companies Acts during that period. In general, the amend- ments made to the Companies Acts involved modifications to management's obligations. Also, on several occasions over the past ten to fifteen years, Scandinavian courts have issued rulings concerning board member and managing director liability. The Companies Acts in the Scandinavian countries are similar, but not identical. They differ in how they treat private versus public business forms. The private form aims at regulating relationships in companies conducting business with few partners, in which the shares are not publicly traded. Conversely, a public company is a company whose shares may be traded on the stock exchange. For example, in Sweden, both private and public companies are regulated in the Companies Act (Aktiebolagslagen). In contrast, Denmark and Norway have various legislation schemes for each different company form. Under this construct, the Public Companies Act consists of mandatory rules whereas the private companies do not. However, under Swedish company law, the private form is subject to mandatory rules.' The objective of this article is to consider certain questions regarding the board of di- rectors' and the managing director's liability to the company under Scandinavian law. *Professor Rolf Dotevall is Professor in Commercial Law, Department of Law, School of Economics and Commercial Law, G6teborg University.

    To the bondholders in: ISIN DK0030416540 New Nordic FinCo Holding A/S – EUR 23,000,000 Floating Rate Senior Secured Bonds due 2022 Copenhagen, 12 June 2020 Summons for Written Resolution – changes to the Bond Terms Nordic Trustee A/S (the “Bond Trustee”) acts as bond trustee (in Danish: repræsentant) for the bondholders in the abovementioned bond issue by New Nordic FinCo Holding A/S (the “Issuer”) pursuant to the bond terms dated 16 March 2018 as amended and restated on 16 June 2018 (the “Bond Terms”). Capitalised terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Bond Terms unless otherwise defined herein. The information in this Summons for Written Resolution is provided by the Issuer, and the Bond Trustee expressly disclaims all liability whatsoever related to such information. 1. BACKGROUND With this Summons for a Written Resolution, the Issuer is requesting a change to the Bond Terms as further described below. The Issuer priorities the continuous dialogue with our Bondholders. As the Bondholders are aware, the only active portfolio company within the Group is Blue Cover and its Subsidiaries and as a consequence thereof the Market Adjusted Equity is in practice based on a single asset and not on a portfolio basis and are as such subject to market volatility and uncertainty in valuation. It is the view of the Issuer that for such reason Market Adjusted Equity and Market Adjusted Equity Ratio is no longer a relevant proxy for performance within the portfolio. Furthermore, as the Parent is currently in an on-shoring process, additional security for the Bondholders will be provided in the Danish Subsidiaries of Blue Cover in order to reflect that the Group’s operations mainly are in the Danish Group Companies.

  • The Cooperative Movement Or the Cooperative Community - Are These Possible Solutions for the Rural Communities of Denmark?
    The Cooperative Movement or The Cooperative Community - are these possible solutions for the rural communities of Denmark? Master Thesis project by Rasmus Koudal Frostholm Aalborg University Geography Masters Spring Semester 2019 Abstract This report investigates the experiment of 1974- 1976 called “Krejbjergplanen”. This experiment, led by philosopher Poul Bjerre, sought to try new forms of living in, and organizing a community. The experiment was based on his theories on society and his human-ecological value philosophy presented in his authorship. Knowledge about his theories was found in the books he wrote and information about the project was found through his own writings, articles and interviews with his widow Tove Bjerre, and the symbol for opposition towards the experiment, former Chairman of Krejbjerg Borgerforening Ivan Andersen. The report also seeks to compare his visions to present day actuality. The ideas of the cooperative movement 2.0 is investigated, analyzed and compared to the cooperative community of Krejbjergplanen. The methods used to investigate these aspects were interview, literature review, document analysis and scenario building. The report concludes, that the experiment of Krejbjerg failed, because it lacked the support from the local community, and that the cooperative movement 2.0 shares ideals with the cooperative community of Krejbjergplanen. It further concludes that the time might be right for new experiments in how people live in organized communities in Denmark. 2 Abstract Title: The Cooperative Movement or The Cooperative Community - Are these possible solutions for the rural communities This report investigates the experiment of of Denmark? 1974- 1976 called “Krejbjergplanen”.
