A related party transaction is one that carries an actual or potential conflict of interest, because of the relationship between the parties.

Related party transactions generally require more approval, authorisation and disclosure than other smaller or less important transactions.

The degree of approval, authorisation and disclosure, together with the detailed criteria for defining related party transactions, differ between legal jurisdictions and regulatory regimes.

Votes are no longer required
"The new rules remove the need for [shareholder] votes on significant or related party transactions...
Shareholder approval for key events, like reverse takeovers and decisions to take the company’s shares off an exchange, is still required...
The FCA has been clear that the new rules involve allowing greater risk, but believes the changes set out will better reflect the risk appetite the economy needs to achieve growth."
