If the by-laws make stipulations as to the majority ratio, they may only stipulate that the majority ratio of capital be greater.

The obligations stipulated in sentences 1 and 2 cease to exist if the contract is accessible via the company’s website for the same period of time. The contract is to be made accessible at the general meeting. At the outset of the meeting, the management board is to give a presentation of the contract. It is to be attached to the minutes as an annex.
