Mergers And Acquisitions In Malta
Merger and acquisition transactions are often carried out using a Malta holding company or companies for the purpose. Malta holding companies are considered tax efficient and flexible solutions, with the added benefit of being inside the EU, benefitting from the Maltese participation exemption provisions in the Maltese Income Tax Act as well as the wide network of tax treaties (more than 70 currently in force) and the EU directives. Moreover, Malta does not levy any withholding tax on outbound dividends, making the island the perfect place for operations.

Mergers And Acquisitions Support
Shareholder Agreements And Special Provisions
We can assist with bespoke shareholder agreements and specially drafted provisions to be included in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, taking into consideration any provisions that are needed, including specific and non-standard management and representation clauses, specific and non-standard rights attached to various share classes, particular redemption and transfer clauses including put and call options and carry rights, etc. We offer our clients corporate consultancy services, including planning, implementing and managing corporate restructurings, mergers and acquisitions and any other corporate actions that may be needed. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with both the Maltese Registrar of Companies and the Malta Stock Exchange, including for Maltese companies with shares dematerialised using the Clearstream settlement system via the Malta Stock Exchange and for Maltese companies listed on a non-Maltese Stock Exchange.
