Pledge of a share in an LLC: possible corporate traps

Business Founder Protection Program. Step seven


A pledge of shares in an LLC or shares in a JSC is an excellent tool for fixing relations between business partners or with a third-party investor. Pledge of shares and shares will suit your taste even if you need to take into account the opinion of the Business Founder in a company where he is not legally the owner.

By entering into a pledge agreement for a share in an LLC or shares, the Business Founder, investor or other creditor can obtain all the rights of a participant / shareholder, without being such. This refers the pledge agreement, along with the board of directors, the option and the corporate agreement, to the Ownership Control Program, which we discuss in this chapter. nine0006

How share/share collateral works.

A pledge of a share/shares is a means of securing the fulfillment of an obligation. Therefore, first of all, you need to have that same obligation - to pay a certain amount of money, transfer property, and so on.

As a general rule, the amount of the obligation must be proportionate to the pledge. If you need to pledge a share in a company with real estate, where the balance sheet currency is measured in hundreds of millions, there is something to think about. Although it is not necessary to conduct an independent assessment of the share / shares in the company to conclude a pledge agreement, the parties can evaluate them at their own discretion. But in any case, it must not be lower than the actual value of the share/shares, since they are foreclosed on the value determined at the time of foreclosure. nine0006

What do we get? While a debtor, such as a new or junior partner who purchases a share in installments, pays off for it, the Business Founder has the ability to control key decisions by virtue of the collateral, and in the absence of payment, can levy collection on him. An investor acquires a similar status if he takes shares/shares as a pledge to secure the obligations of either the current owners or the company itself, if the financing is carried out directly.

The most interesting thing in the key of possessory control is that the Law allows to transfer to the pledgee all the rights of a member of the company. True, along with such control, the Founder will also receive the status of a controlling debtor of a person, which is not suitable for everyone. To avoid this, the pledge agreement can stipulate that the corporate rights of the participant continue to be exercised by the pledger, but a number of issues are agreed with the creditor: nine0006

  • on the alienation of a share for any reason;
  • on an increase in the authorized capital at the expense of a contribution from a third party, as a result of which the share of a member of the company may be significantly diluted;
  • on approval of major transactions, alienation of real estate, shares in subsidiaries, etc. ;
  • on the change of the director of the Company.

If the pledgee exercises the rights of a member/shareholder of the Company, then the director has an obligation to notify the pledgee of holding a general meeting in accordance with the procedure laid down in the charter. The protocol is signed by the pledgee along with other participants/shareholders. nine0006

By law, the pledgor is not entitled to alienate the subject of pledge without the consent of the pledgee, unless otherwise provided by law or the agreement (clause 2, article 346 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Even if you forgot to impose such a prohibition in the pledge agreement of a share in an LLC, a member of the company will not be able to sell, donate, exchange a share, issue an option for the share to sell it and withdraw from the Company without the consent of the pledgee, given that information about the pledge of a share is reflected in Unified State Register of Legal Entities. When notarizing a transaction with a share, the notary will unambiguously require the provision of a contract for its pledge to him, and after studying the contract, the written consent of the pledgee. nine0006

When shares are pledged, all the pledger's restrictions on shares are specified in the pledge order, on the basis of which the registrar makes entries on the terms of the pledge on the personal accounts of the pledgee and the shareholder. Thus, the registrar will also not conduct transactions for the alienation of pledged shares without the consent of the pledgee.

A pledge of a share/shares in a company is retained when they are transferred to another person, including an heir, legal successor of a legal entity (clause 1, article 353 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Consequently, the pledgee is not deprived of the opportunity to foreclose on the subject of pledge subject to retention of the unliquidated underlying obligation.

Some differences in the use of the construction for LLC and JSC.

Pledge of shares in LLC

Unless otherwise stipulated by the parties in the share pledge agreement, until the termination of the pledge, the rights of the company's participant shall be exercised by the pledgee.

To register a pledge of a share in an LLC, the Charter should not contain a provision prohibiting the transfer of a share as a pledge to a third party (clause 1, article 22 of the Federal Law "On LLC"). This requirement must also be observed when pledging a share in a Company with a single participant. nine0003 The decision on consent to the transfer of its share as a pledge to a third party is taken by law by a majority of votes of all participants in the company. At the same time, the vote of a participant intending to pledge his share as a pledge is not taken into account when voting. In a company with one participant, the decision to approve the pledge of a share is made by him.

The agreement on the pledge of a share in an LLC is subject to mandatory notarization, after which information about it is entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. There you can see the pledge holder, the basis (date of the main agreement), the date of entering information about the pledge. nine0039

Pledge of shares in JSC

Unlike an LLC, when shares are pledged in a JSC, the rights of a shareholder under the law continue to be exercised by the pledger, that is, the shareholder. Therefore, in the pledge agreement, it is specifically necessary to stipulate the retention of rights for the pledgee (Clause 2, Article 358.15 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

The transfer of shares as a pledge to a third party is carried out without the consent of the other shareholders and the company itself. Information about the encumbrance of shares by a pledge is entered in the register of shareholders and reflected by the registrar on the personal account of the pledgor on the basis of an order signed by the pledgor and the pledgee. At the same time, the registrar opens a personal account for the pledgee in the registry. The entry on the encumbrance of shares with a pledge contains the following data: information about the pledgee, all data contained in the pledge order, including the details of the pledge agreement, the conditions of the pledge (established restrictions, the procedure for disposing of shares, etc.). nine0006

Information on the pledge of shares is not reflected in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and, accordingly, is not visible to third parties.

Stopcock for Founder: foreclosure of pledged shares/shares

If the debtor fails to fulfill the obligation secured by the pledge, the pledgee has the right to foreclose on the pledged share (shares) p. 1 st. 348 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

As a general rule, foreclosure on pledged property is carried out by a court decision. Theoretically, for convenience, it would be possible to provide for an out-of-court procedure for foreclosing a pledged share in the Company in a pledge agreement, but in practice it is associated with so many administrative procedures that it is really easier to take the judicial procedure for foreclosure as a guideline. nine0006

Important! Foreclosure on the pledged share / shares does not in itself guarantee the pledgee to transfer them to his ownership, because: shares in proportion to the amount of debt within 3 months from the date of foreclosure (clause 2 and clause 3 of article 25 of the Federal Law "On LLC"). There are no similar rules in the JSC Law. nine0003

  • By default, shares/shares are foreclosed by selling them at a (public) auction. To get exactly the share / shares, and not the money, the pledgee needs to participate in the auction and win them.
  • Therefore, one of the two mechanisms for the implementation of the pledged property can also be fixed in the pledge agreement through:

    • transfer of a share in the company to the property of the pledgee at a price specified in the agreement, but not lower than the market price; nine0021
    • sale of the subject of pledge by the pledgee to another person at a price not lower than the market price with deduction from the proceeds of the amount of the secured debt.

    But this mechanism works only if the pledger is a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur. 350.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. In this case, a natural person who does not have the status of an individual entrepreneur can also be a pledgee.

    If at the time of the transfer of the pledged share to the property of the pledgee, its actual value exceeds the amount of the unpaid debt, the pledgee will have to pay the difference to the pledgor, clause 2, article 350.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. nine0006

    Termination of pledge and removal of encumbrance

    The full repayment of the obligation secured by the pledge is not enough to withdraw the pledge.

    An entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on the encumbrance of a share with a pledge is extinguished only on the basis of an application by the pledgee in the form No. Р13014 or on the basis of a court decision that has entered into force. The application is signed by the pledgee, the authenticity of whose signature is certified by a notary public. Thus, information about the pledge of a share cannot be excluded from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities without the knowledge of the pledgee. nine0006

    At the same time, the law does not establish a deadline for submitting such an application to the tax office after repayment of the main obligation. However, the parties may establish this period in the pledge agreement. In addition, the pledgor has the right to judicially force the pledgee to submit an application after the full repayment of the main obligation, if he evades.

    In the case of a joint-stock company, an entry in the register of shareholders on the redemption of the pledge of shares is carried out by the registrar on the basis of an order to terminate the pledge of shares signed by the pledgee or jointly by the pledger and the pledgee. nine0006
