Supervisory Board

A Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) may establish a Supervisory Board ("SB") if the Memorandum of Association (“MoA”) so provides.

Division of Duties: The main competences and responsibilities of the SB is supervision of the activities of the Executive(s), revision of the Company's accounts and financial statements, and further, the SB must inform the General Meeting (“GM”) of its findings at least once a year.  A ban on competition applies according to which a SB member must not (among other things) engage in competing business activities or to be member of a statutory body in another company with a similar scope of activities (unless it is a subsidiary of the Company). Such restrictions can be extended (but not reduced) by the MoA or the Articles of Association (if adopted). [...]

Composition: The SB must have at least 3 members and no maximum applies. Only natural persons can be SB members and an Executive may not be a SB member of the same Company and vice versa.

Appointment/Dismissal Competence: The SB members are appointed/dismissed by the GM by a simple majority vote unless the MoA stipulates otherwise. No statutory time limit applies to the term of a SB member.

Alternates: Not applicable - Slovak law does not recognize alternates to the SB members.

For a description of how to change the respective board members, please see the individual steps in the "Step-by-Step"-schedules below. As all information on how to change board members in Slovakia on the CBM Site by nature is generic (i.e. does not include specific requirements for listed companies, special requirements in statutory documents or as otherwise stipulated in any type of special law), we strongly recommend seeking legal advice with PRK Partners before actually changing any board members in Slovakia.
