Insights & News - Shay Bello:
Maccabi Tel Aviv Shareholder Dispute Referred to Arbitration
We are representing Richard Deitz, a shareholder in Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Club and Chairman of VR Capital Group, in a shareholder dispute concerning the club's ownership structure. Following steps taken by the other shareholders which, according to Deitz, were intended to prevent him from increasing his stake in the club, we applied to the court for interim relief pending resolution of the dispute through arbitration. Under the court's decision, the dispute will proceed to arbitration, including the question of Deitz's right of first refusal to acquire additional shares in the club. Zohar Lande, Eyal Nachshon, Shay Bello and Shani Tsur of our Litigation Department represent VR Capital Group.
Steel Partners Sues InMode
We represent US investment fund Steel Partners in litigation against InMode, its CEO, and its board of directors, focused on the question of who qualifies as the de facto controlling shareholder of a public company. In the claim, we argue that although the CEO holds only 7% of InMode’s shares, he effectively exercises control over the company. As a result, the acquisition offer he submitted should be subject to the stricter rules and standards applicable to controlling shareholders. The lawsuit comes amid an escalating battle for control of InMode, which is traded on Nasdaq and has a market capitalization of approximately USD 900 million. Steel Partners is represented by Adv. Micky Barnea, Adv. Eyal Nachshon, Adv. Shay Bello, and Adv. Noa Raz of our firm.
