Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the company still had a statutory right under Art. 685b(1) OR to refuse transfer and offer a buyout despite outdated articles.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The statutory buyout right exists whenever the articles make transfer subject to approval, even if the articles do not separately list this right.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 685b OR does not require express article-based mention of the buyout right; it follows by law from a transfer restriction requiring approval under Art. 685a(1) OR. Old inconsistent clauses allowing refusal without reasons fell away, but the approval requirement remained.
