Back Cover: Paravan şirket toplumsal hayatın bir gerçeğidir. Şirketler hukuku bakımından gerçek faydalanıcının kimliğinin çoğu halde ve yerde hukuka uygun şekilde gizlenmesiyle ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak paravan şirketin özellikleri şirketler hukukunda yeterince incelenmiş değildir. Oysa suç gelirlerinin aklanmasının önlenmesi hukuku ve vergi hukuku paravan şirkete aşinadır. “Gerçek faydalanıcı” kavramı ise özellikle Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü (OECD) ve Mali Eylem Görev Gücü (FATF) tarafından gerçekleştirilen çalışmalarla olgunlaştırılmıştır. Nihayetinde dünyada gerçek faydalanıcı sicillerinin yaygınlaşması, paravan şirketin özellikle hukuka uygun kullanımları bakımından özel hayatın gizliliğine ilişkin endişeleri artırmıştır. Ayrıca gerçek faydalanıcı sicilleri, gerçek faydalanıcı bildirimini şirketlerin korporatif özelliklerinden biri haline getirmiş ve böylece pay sahipliğinin bildirimi meselesinin de derinleşmesine yol açmıştır. Bu durum kaçınılmaz olarak paravan şirket özelinde “başkası hesabına pay sahipliği” kurumunun günümüzde halen tercih edilirliğini sürdürmesine neden olmuştur. Sözü edilen gelişmeler bu kitapta şirketler hukuku yönünden incelenmekte, ayrıca paravan şirketin meşruluğu sorunu da özel olarak değerlendirilmektedir.
Keywords: Shell Company, Beneficial Owner, Nominee Shareholder, Corporate Transparency Principle, Shareholder Disclosure.
Murat Can Pehlivanoğlu, Non- Pecuniary Private Benefits in Publicly Traded Corporations: How Involuntary Dissolution Statute May Be the Solution, Brill Nijhoff, Leiden 2024.
Back Cover: Non-pecuniary private benefits, a phenomenon in publicly traded corporations, may be extracted by influencing shareholders to the detriment of minority shareholders and corporations. This book, with particular focus on Turkish law and American law, investigates the loopholes paving the way of non-pecuniary private benefit extractions in the context of corporate law. Dr. Pehlivanoğlu proposes to use shareholder oppression law’s reasonable expectations standard to expand the reach of involuntary dissolution statutes to cover non-pecuniary private benefit extractions of influencing shareholders. This book is intended as a guide for scholars and practitioners, who are researching and working on contemporary shareholder oppression disputes and involuntary dissolution statutes based on reasonable expectations and just cause standards, with a comparative law perspective. It is an extensively revised version of the author's doctoral (S.J.D.) dissertation submitted to San Francisco Golden Gate University (GGU) School of Law and also a product of research visits at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) Faculty of Law and City University of Hong Kong (CityU) School of Law.
Keywords: Non- Pecuniary Private Benefits, Involuntary Dissolution, Just Cause, Reasonable Expectations, Influencing Shareholder.
