The founder and former CEO, a minority shareholder, brought a claim under s.994 of the Companies Act 2006 seeking relief on the ground that the company’s affairs were being conducted in a manner that caused him prejudice. The private equity company appointed directors and the private equity company were named defendants in the litigation. It was alleged that the defendant directors withheld information including company accounts, excluded him from the management of the company in breach of a shareholders agreement and used company assets for the benefit of the private equity company, to the detriment of the insured portfolio company.
