There are 2 legal entities - A and B, their accounts were opened in Summer 2018.</div><div>2. The legal entity B joined to the legal entity A.</div><div>3. The NCC transformed the account of the entity B to the additional account of the entity A. While the NCC prepared the LIR Account Agreement and sent it by DHL we finalized the procedure in January 2019 only. </div><div>4. But the NCC also called it as transfer because of MERGER_OR_ACQUISITION.</div><div>5. So we have the transfer restriction period until January 2021 and the NCC can pay bonus (4200 EUR for 3 accounts) for it's executive board, stuffs etc.</div><div><br></div><div>I thought, because of the account transformation the procedure cannot be called as transfer of resources. Otherwise the NCC should merge accounts without additional account creation if the transfer restrictions aren't applied because of M&A. </div></div>
