Spanish term or phrase: La Junta General de Accionistas
This part of the passage talks about a company that was not informed aboutr a sale/merger, until, it had been carried out.

I guess it would be the actual Committee/ Board of Shareholders as opposed to a Meeting of the Shareholders. They are Paper makers manufacturers. What do you think?

But here's the text-
La Junta General de Accionistas de INPACSA no fue informada de la venta de (empresa) a (empresa), hasta que ya se habia sido realizada y en ese momento , en la Junta Ordinaria de accionistas, que se llevo a cabo (fecha) en (lugar), solo se le dio a conocer el precio de la venta y el nombre de la sociedad compradora

There are three different types of shareholders’ meeting: ordinary, extraordinary, or combined.

Ordinary Meetings
Companies are required by law to hold an annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting in the six months following the close of its fiscal year. This meeting serves to inform shareholders about the company’s business and financial condition. Shareholders are requested to approve the results (profit or loss) for the year, to decide on their allocation, and to set the dividend. Also, it appoints or renews the members of the Board of Directors and the independent auditors. Finally, the ordinary meeting has the power to grant or withhold authority to conduct all major transactions concerning the regular administration of the company.


Extraordinary Meetings
These can be called at any time for the purpose of deciding on a change in the articles of incorporation or a transaction affecting the company’s capital (increase, reduction, merger, etc.).


Combined Meetings
These combine both types of meeting (ordinary and extraordinary) on a single occasion and with a single notice to attend

Con respecto a tu texto; generalmente (y estoy traduciendo en este momento algo así) los accionistas tienen que ser informados de este tipo de operaciones; para este caso, también generalmente, se llama a una junta extraordinaría de accionistas.

Creo que este no fue el caso, en tu caso, y obviamente hubierón (presumo) problemas, ya que en lo que a veces se llama la reunión anual de accionistas (la ordinaria) se les informó con los hechos ya consumados..
