Examples or Scenarios
The founder and former CEO, a minority shareholder, brought a claim under s.994 of the Companies Act 2006 seeking relief on the ground that the company’s affairs were being conducted in a manner that caused him prejudice. The private equity company appointed directors and the private equity company were named defendants in the litigation. It was alleged that the defendant directors withheld information including company accounts, excluded him from the management of the company in breach of a shareholders agreement and used company assets for the benefit of the private equity company, to the detriment of the insured portfolio company.
A claim was brought by the former CEO of a company acquired by a private equity firm. The former CEO alleged that he lost his job and suffered various other loss by reason of being a whistle-blower. He sued not only the portfolio company but also the private equity company. His claim was for over GBP 200 million, although this was heavily exaggerated.
