Grammar

Underlined part of the sentence

Hi!
Is the underlined part grammatical? Any changes necessary?

In each specific case, the aforementioned rights may be restricted pursuant to the decision taken by the board, if there are justified suspicions that the shareholder may use the acquired information contrary to the company's objectives, thus, causing significant damages or losses to the Company or a subject from the same concern, or to third parties.

Thank you!
