In Moldova, how can a private equity fund structure a minority investment to preserve control rights and governance while staying compliant with local corporate and tax rules?

Question

I am the founder of a Moldovan company seeking a minority stake from a private equity investor. I want to understand how to protect governance rights, such as board representation and information rights, while ensuring compliance with Moldovan corporate and tax law. What steps should I take to negotiate the term sheet, and is legal representation necessary to handle regulatory approvals and closing?

Hi,

Do I understand correctly that you want to admit a private equity investor as a minority shareholder while remaining the majority associate, i.e. to balance the investor comfort vs. founder control?

If so, the short answer is - yes, you can do that without transferring operational or legal control, in full compliance with Moldovan corporate and tax law.

I can help with this query.
