Derved ville NordLB have mistet den ret til deltagelse, som knytter sig til en aktiebesiddelse på mindst 10 % — f.eks. udnævnelse af særlige revisorer eller gennemførelse af selskabskrav over for direktions- og bestyrelsesmedlemmer.
NordLB would thus have lost the participatory rights associated with a holding of at least 10 %, such as asking a court to appoint special auditors or asserting the company’s claims against members of the management and supervisory boards.
