Shareholders are important stakeholders of companies. In recent times
the position of shareholders has become more and more scrutinized,
partly as a result of activist measures they have taken, sometimes
resulting in the breaking up of large corporations. At the other hand
of the spectrum we see minority shareholders being marginalised and
even forced to transfer their shares.Questions that arise in these and
similar situations are, amongst others: how can the management board
of the company block what it deems destructive action by shareholders,
but also: what can shareholders do in the event that the value of
their shares decreases as a result of actions by management or third
parties? As a result there are many relationships concerning companies
in which shareholders play a role. The role of a shareholder may
depend on the type of company, but also on the type of shareholder
(activist vs. long term investor), the type of shares, and the
articles of incorporation and shareholders agreements.This practical
handbook provides an overview of these and other relevant legal issues
concerning shareholders in some 25 of the most important business
nations around the globe. It provides guidance to shareholders,
directors, supervisory directors, general counsel and their attorneys
to promote a better understanding of the rights, but also the
obligations, of shareholders. Besides, this guide provides all those
concerned with practical information on the relevant dispute
resolution systems.
