If the merger’s effectiveness is subject to a suspensive condition or term and, before fulfilment of the condition or arrival of the term, material changes occur in the facts on which the resolutions were based, the meeting of any of the companies may resolve that termination or modification of the agreement be sought; the agreement’s effectiveness is deferred until the decision in those proceedings becomes final.

Se a eficácia da fusão estiver sujeita a condição ou termo suspensivos e ocorreram, antes da verificação destes, mudanças relevantes nos elementos de facto em que as deliberações se basearam, pode a assembleia de qualquer das sociedades deliberar que seja requerida a resolução ou a modificação do contrato, ficando a eficácia deste diferida até ao trânsito em julgado da decisão a proferir no processo.
