- Description
- The amendment allows the trustees to make distributions to Karyna Shuliak in trust if they determine it would be beneficial for the protection of her exclusive and unimpeded right to the use and enjoyment of any distribution. This could be interpreted as a way to protect the funds from potential creditors or other claims, but it could also be a way to control the funds and potentially exert influence over Shuliak.
