B. Relevant statutes

The entries in the attached Table-related statutes are as follows.

C. Determination

1) Whether the acquisition of shares is for the retirement of shares

In light of the above facts, Gap's 2-1, 2-2 and 2-H 1's shares were stated as the grounds for acquiring 'the minutes of the board of directors' at the time of the resolution to acquire 'the stock' from 00, 209. The plaintiff's explanation that 'the defendant would acquire 'the stock for the purpose of re-sale or stock retirement' at the request of 00, 2009, 'the total amount of 00, 100, 200, 100, 200, 100, 200, 200, 200, 200, 200, 200, 200, 200, 200, 20, 200, 200, 200, 20,000, 20,000, 20,000,00,00,00.

2) The time when a debt for stock retirement proceeds accrues;

Even if the Plaintiff acquired shares issued by the Plaintiff at a cost from XX, etc., it cannot be deemed null and void as it is for the purpose of retiring shares as seen earlier. The procedures for capital reduction that should be taken after the Plaintiff’s acquisition of shares, and such procedures cannot be deemed null and void. Thus, even if the Plaintiff paid the purchase price of shares to XX, etc. on the date of the conclusion of the contract with XX, etc. pursuant to the contents of the share purchase contract concluded with the Plaintiff, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff paid the purchase price of shares in advance prior to the occurrence of the legal obligation to pay shares. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s assertion on this part is with merit.

3) Sub-decisions

Therefore, the defendant's disposition of this case based on the premise that the payment of the purchase price of shares by the plaintiff constitutes a prior payment prior to the occurrence of the obligation for the redemption of shares, rather than the acquisition of treasury shares exceptionally permitted, should be revoked.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is reasonable, and it is decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
