EDITORIAL

Welcome to the second edition of the Corporate, Mergers and Acquisitions Group (CMAG) Aware, for 2010. This Newsletter is composed of four articles, which we hope will be useful information to retain.

On the first article, we refer to the responsibilities regime of foreign parent companies for the liabilities of the affiliated companies, analysing if a totally dominant company having its registered office outside Portugal will be or not subject to the duties and charges implemented by the norms regarding affiliate companies, specifically concerning its relation with a Portuguese daughter company.

Following, we discuss the new rules regarding the director’s remuneration disclosure, by means of Law 28/2009, whose effects, on this matter, only now are beginning to surface, with the approval of the annual accounts regarding 2009.

On the third article, we refer to the abusive dismissal of directors, mentioning recent jurisprudence about this matter.

Finally, we give knowledge of the stamp duty abolishment on certain corporate acts, as foreseen on the 2010 National

Budget, now published.

Enjoy your reading.
