The facts that there was no exercise of shareholder's right corresponding to the bus of the defendant company, that the plaintiff company's life rule was an urban bus and the seat bus 725 and 67, that 24 of the above 31 seat bus is a seat bus 725, and 7 of the above 31 seat bus is a seat bus 67, separately managing the wages, insurance premiums, accident disposal expenses, installment payments, etc. of the employees required for the operation of the above 78 seat bus separately from the expenses required for the operation of the above 78 seat bus, but all of the above 78 seat operating expenses of the defendant company were spent from the above 78 seat operation expenses of the above 78 seat company, and since the monthly income of the defendant company was divided into the above 78 seat number of the above 78 seat seat bus and the profits from the above 1 share of the above 1 share of the company's share to the above 31 share of the shareholders' right of the above 1 share of the above 31 share.
B. Next, the plaintiffs asserted that the resolution for the appointment of executive officers of this case should be revoked because it is a resolution of procedural defect made by a person who is not the representative director against the provisions of the articles of incorporation of the defendant company. Thus, according to the articles of incorporation of the defendant company, the chairperson of the general meeting of shareholders is required to leave the representative director. However, the above general meeting of shareholders held by the chairperson of the non-party 5, and the above general meeting of shareholders was resolved to appoint executive officers of this case without dispute between the parties, and in full view of the purport of the arguments as stated in the evidence Nos. 5 and Nos. 72-4, the above general meeting of shareholders was held by the shareholders of 19, other than the plaintiff 5, the number of executive officers of this case among the shareholders listed in the attached Form No. 78, and the bus owned by the shareholders present at the above general meeting of shareholders is 73, the number of executive officers of this case and the bus actually owned by the non-party 1,4, the above representative director of the general meeting of shareholders was the chairperson of this case, and approved of this case.
According to the above facts, the resolution for the appointment of executive officers of this case was made by the Speaker elected as a full-time member of the 19 shareholders' meeting, including the plaintiff 1, who was the representative director of the defendant company, who owned 73 percent of the total number of 93.6 percent of the total number of 78 buses by substantially owning the above 73 buses among the above 78 buses. The resolution for the appointment of executive officers of this case was made by the Speaker elected as a full-time member of the 19 shareholders' meeting, including the plaintiff 1, who was the representative director of the defendant company,. Thus, if the representative director with the position of the 93.6 percent shares of the total number of 93.6 percent of the total number of shares attended the above 78 shareholders' meeting and appointed the 93.6 percent shares as a full-time representative director, it would be unreasonable, in light of the circumstances and circumstances alleged in the above resolution, as alleged in the articles of incorporation, since most of the above resolutions are inconsistent with the majority's intent.
In addition, even though shareholders who attended the above general meeting of shareholders were elected as the Speaker pro tempore, the above resolution of election of the Speaker pro tempore is a defective resolution made by the actual owners of the above 31 seat bus without exercising their shareholders' rights corresponding thereto. Therefore, the resolution of appointment of the executive of this case taken by the Speaker pro tempore elected by defective procedures should also be revoked as illegal. However, the above 31 seat bus is merely merely a bus registered in the name of the defendant company without the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors, because it is merely a bus registered in the name of the defendant company without the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors, on the ground that the above 31 seat bus is not a bus owned by the defendant company, but the
C. Furthermore, the resolution of the appointment of executive officers of this case was made at the general meeting of shareholders without the resolution of the board of directors, and it is argued that it was made at the general meeting of shareholders of the defendant company without the notification of convocation to three persons, including the number of executive officers, Kim Dong-ho, and the final office office, among the shareholders of the defendant company, and thus, the fact that the above general meeting of shareholders was convened without the resolution of the board of directors does not conflict between the parties, and considering the whole purport of the pleading in the statement Nos. 3, 5, 11, the above fact that the above general meeting of shareholders was convened without the resolution of the board of directors, the defendant company's general meeting of shareholders shall not be held at the general meeting of shareholders of the defendant company No. 2, No. 5, No. 6, the evidence No. 2, the defendant company's testimony No. 8, the defendant company No. 2, the defendant company's testimony No. 3, the defendant company No. 6, the defendant company No. 1, the defendant No. 2's evidence No. 6, the defendant No. 2, and the defendant No. 2
Therefore, the resolution of the appointment of executive officer of this case is not only without the resolution of the board of directors but also made at the above general meeting of shareholders convened without the notice of convocation for some shareholders. Therefore, the plaintiffs' assertion that the resolution of the appointment of executive officer of this case must be revoked by the resolution defective in
However, in full view of the following facts: (a) No. 5, (b) No. 6-2, No. 3, and No. 8-2; (b) No. 24, No. 25, and No. 26; (c) No. 72-2, No. 72; and (d) No. 74 of the company’s testimony for Kim Jong-Un; (b) the defendant company convened a general meeting of shareholders by agreement between the representative director and full-time directors without a resolution of the board of directors until 190; (c) No. 444 of the company’s total number of stocks issued by the above 7-2, No. 9 of the company’s 7-2, No. 7 of the company’s 7-2, a general meeting of shareholders; and (d) No. 9 of the company’s 7-2, a general meeting of shareholders; and (d) the number of stocks held by the representative director of the 5-3 company’s 7-2, a general meeting of shareholders.
According to the above facts, since the incorporation of the defendant company and the above general meeting of shareholders, the representative director has convened the general meeting of shareholders only with the agreement with the full-time director without the resolution of the board of directors, and all of the shareholders have accepted the above practice. The plaintiff's full-time officer did not convene the above general meeting of shareholders and preside over the above general meeting of shareholders without any objection from the shareholders present at the above general meeting without the resolution of the board of directors. The number of the plaintiffs who did not attend the above general meeting of shareholders and the non-party Kim Dong-dong held the above general meeting of shareholders is 6.4% (5.78) of the total number of the defendant company's total number of stocks. In accordance with such practice, the above general meeting of shareholders was accepted by the general meeting of shareholders without the resolution of the board of directors, and the above general meeting of shareholders is not only insignificant, but also it is obvious that the majority of the defendant company's total number of stocks did not exceed the above resolution of the general meeting of shareholders and even if the non-party Kim Dong-dong attended attended attending attending the above general meeting of shareholders, the majority of the defendant's.
3. If so, the plaintiffs' claims of this case are unfair, and all of them are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
