Key legal question
How should the clause referring to the 'current fiscal value at the time of partial repurchase' be interpreted?
Extracted holding
The clause refers to the fiscal value in force for the tax period current when the buyback right is exercised, which here was the 1996 valuation of CHF 258,400 per share.
Extracted reasoning
The wording, contractual context, and parties' later conduct showed they intended to use the fiscal value then applicable and knowable to the parties; the 1998 valuation only became effective later.
