What is the company life cycle that an Israeli corporation goes through from the start of its inception? What are the different milestones it may encounter?<\/p>\n

Our law office, specializing in Israeli corporate law, can help you run your company from registration<\/a> and throughout its entire duration.<\/p>\n

What is the legal status of a corporation?<\/u><\/h4>\n

A corporation is a legally independent entity in its own right. As such, it is deemed legally competent to assume rights and responsibilities. Having its own legal identity means that a company is legally distinct from its shareholders and those who act in its name and it may both sue and be sued.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

When does the veil get lifted?<\/u><\/h4>\n

\u201cLifting the veil\u201d is when the rights and obligations of the company and its shareholders become ascribed to each other. Ordinarily, if a third party sues a company, they can only be reimbursed by the company from its own assets and not from those of its shareholders. This is based on the principle that a company has its own legal identity<\/a>. The courts, in extraordinary circumstances, can decide to lift the legal \u201cveil\u201d which separates the rights and obligations of a company from its shareholders, if it feels that the latter has inappropriately exploited the company\u2019s distinct legal status.<\/p>\n

From incorporation to dissolution<\/u><\/h4>\n

Upon the incorporation of a company, it will receive a certificate of incorporation attesting to this fact. The life cycle of a corporation spans the date specified in the certificate of incorporation until the the process of liquidation<\/a> is resolved upon its dissolution.<\/p>\n

Bylaws<\/u><\/h4>\n

A company\u2019s bylaws dictate its activities and must be submitted to the registrar of companies<\/a> at the time of its incorporation. The bylaws constitute the contractual obligations which the company has with its shareholders and which the latter have with themselves. The companies ordinance used to distinguish between the bylaws of a company and its memorandum, giving preference to the latter, yet the companies law did away with this distinction and dictates that the bylaws govern.<\/p>\n

Dissolution<\/u><\/h4>\n

As part of the dissolution process, the company\u2019s assets are placed in a receivership and disposed of and allocated according to the preferential hierarchy set forth by statute and in the company\u2019s articles of incorporation. A trustee is appointed to oversee this process who assumes the powers of the board of directors<\/a> and places the company\u2019s assets in a receivership. As stated, the process of dissolving the company concludes with its liquidation.<\/p>\n

Suspension of proceedings<\/u><\/h4>\n

One byproduct of the courts dissolving a company is that it will suspend proceedings against it. This would preclude someone persisting in pursuing an action or commencing one against the company absent the court\u2019s consent. The aim of suspending proceedings is to put a stop to private claims for being reimbursed by company assets in favor of collective ones based on the principle of equal distribution among the company\u2019s creditors.<\/p>\n

Claims on debt<\/u><\/h4>\n

Subsequent to an order being granted for a company\u2019s dissolution, it is incumbent on the trustee to settle all claims on company debt to its creditors. The creditors must submit such claims to the trustee within six months of the order being granted for the company\u2019s dissolution, who then must rule on them.<\/p>\n

Mergers<\/u><\/h4>\n

A merger<\/a> is as it sounds. It is when two companies merge into one. The element of a merger is that one company absorbs another, with only the former perpetuating its existence. At this point, the absorbed target company will be eliminated from the registrar of companies\u2019 books.<\/p>\n

Tender offer<\/u><\/h4>\n

A tender offer is a public offer to all of the shareholders of the target company to acquire its assets. There are statutory safeguards in place to ensure that the rights of all the shareholders in the target company will be upheld. The companies law makes a distinction between two different types of tender offers. The one, which is known as a \u201cspecial tender offer,\u201d is directed towards acquiring control of a public company. The other, known as a \u201ccomplete tender offer,\u201d places its focus on the acquisition of a public company in its entirety. On occasion, this may be effected in the face of shareholder opposition and may result in a public company being transformed into a private one.<\/p>\n

The receiver<\/u><\/h4>\n

The receiver is someone who is appointed at the direction of the court for the purposes of preserving certain company assets, and collecting and administering them, towards the end of upholding the rights of those who are entitled to their remuneration.<\/p>\n
