Revisions to Subsidiaries’ Articles of Association by Liven AS
Liven AS has made significant updates to the articles of association for its subsidiaries registered in Estonia.

Understanding the Voluntary Reserve
These revisions introduce the concept of a voluntary reserve into the governance of the company. Essentially, this means that shareholders can opt to establish one or more voluntary reserves, which can be drawn from the annual net profits of the company or via additional financial contributions. This flexibility in financial management allows Liven AS and its subsidiaries to adapt to changing business landscapes and optimize their capital structure.
Contribution and Use of the Voluntary Reserve
Contributions to such reserves can be made in various forms, including cash or other assets. The management is responsible for assessing the value of any non-cash contributions. Following the establishment of a voluntary reserve, all shareholders are required to contribute based on their shareholdings, ensuring an equitable approach to funding this reserve. This structure not only fosters a sense of shareholder responsibility but also enhances the company’s overall capital efficiency.
Protection of Shareholders’ Interests
The voluntary reserves, once established, are acknowledged as part of the company’s equity capital. They offer a buffer that can be utilized to cover any losses, contribute to share capital increases, or enable distributions to shareholders, subject to shareholder resolutions. Importantly, payments from the reserves are proportionate to each shareholder’s contributions, allowing for transparency and fairness in financial distributions.
Next Steps for Registration
As these amendments undergo the required formal registration by the Tartu District Court Registration Department, they will enhance the legal framework within which Liven AS operates. Upon completion, the revised articles of association will be accessible in the e-business register, allowing for transparency and public access to the company’s operational framework.
