Regarding the principles determined and the right to sue recognized, the protection of the shareholders in the mergers is one of the issues that the legislator attaches special importance to. It is essential that the shareholders of company being acquired attain the shares and rights in the acquiring company equivalent to those in the company being acquired. The negative results of merger on the assets of the shareholders are reviewed by an examination case within the framework of the continuity of the partnership principle (TCC Art. 191). In the present case, the shareholders may demand an appropriate compensation on the grounds that their share and rights are not properly protected or the amount of any cash payment is not determined appropriately. On the other hand, the violation of the provisions of the Law relating to the merger is controlled by a special nullification case, which could be filed by the shareholders (TCC Art. 192). The legislator has concluded the nullification of the violation of the relevant provisions; however, the elimination of deficiencies mechanism allows the acquiring company to avoid it. Finally, it is foreseen a liability case to compensate shareholders’ damages that allows all persons participating in the merger transactions are liable for the damages they incurred against the them (TCC Art. 193). Thus, the partners are protected by three different mechanisms against the merger.
