Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-established and authoritative work is the most detailed reference source on the law relating to minority shareholders. As more and more legal emphasis is put on corporate governance, and as the influence of shareholder activism continues to grow, practitioners increasingly need a source of up-to-date and detailed information on the rights and remedies available to the minority. This is the only book to focus on this increasingly topical and important subject. This sixth edition features a new chapter on share purchase orders and valuation. There is expanded coverage of the relevant non-UK authorities, including cases from Hong Kong, Singapore, the British Virgin Islands, and Cayman. There is also more detailed analysis of shareholder agreements and related developments in contract law relevant to minority shareholders (e.g., arguments around implied terms and good faith). The new edition also covers significant developments in case law, such as Eclairs Group Ltd v JKX Oil & Gas plc.

Book excerpt: The protection afforded to shareholders in general, and to minority shareholders specifically, may differ from country to country. This book examines the methods used in different countries to protect minority shareholders. Every author gives an overview of his or her country's company law. the types of companies which issue shares and the types of shares issued are described. the relevance of concepts such as `share', `shareholder', `majority shareholder' and 'minority shareholder', as well as the nature and relationships of shareholder rights provided by law and those contained in corporate documents, are examined. A shareholder of a company is entitled to specific substantive and procedural rights. the effective means of enforcing them and against whom they may be enforced are discussed in detail. Finally, the work considers issues of jurisdiction, conflict of laws and certain other substantive laws insofar as these rules and laws relate to and impact on the protection and enforcement of the rights of minority shareholders against domestic and foreign companies. This new publication draws on the knowledge and experience of legal practitioners from Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America.

Download or read book Protection of Minority Shareholder Interests Cross listings in the United States and Subsequent Equity Offerings written by William A. Reese and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the hypothesis that non-U.S. firms cross-list in the United States to increase protection of their minority shareholders. Cross-listing on an organized exchange (NYSE or Nasdaq) in the U.S. subjects a non-U.S. firm to a number of provisions of U.S. securities law and requires the firm to conform to U.S. GAAP. It therefore increases the expected cost to managers of extracting private benefits, and commits the firm to protecting minority shareholders' interests. The expected relation between the quantity of cross-listings and shareholder protection in the home country is ambiguous, because managers will consider both expected private benefits and the public value of their shares. However, there are clear predictions about the relation between subsequent equity issues, shareholder protection and cross-listings: 1) Equity issues increase following all cross-listings, regardless of shareholder protection. 2) The increase should be larger for cross-listings from countries with weak protection. 3) Equity issues following cross-listings in the U.S. will tend to be in the U.S. for firms from countries with strong protection and outside the U.S. for firms from countries with weak protection. We find strong evidence supporting predictions 1) and 3), and weak evidence consistent with hypothesis 2). Overall, the desire to protect shareholder rights appears to be one reason why some non-U.S. firms cross-list in the United States. However, it probably is not an important determinant of the large recent increase in cross-listings, because legal requirements potentially deter a number of firms that do have a demand for equity capital from cross-listing in the U.S.

Download or read book Minority Shareholder Protection in SMEs written by Jan Bertil Andersson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMEs or, as they are called here, 'close corporations', differ in many respects from publicly traded companies. Shares in publicly traded companies have a regulated market which shares in SMEs do not have. Since there is no regulated market for the shares there is usually a lock-in effect in the sense that, in the absence of contractual terms or rules in company law or in the articles of association, (minority) shareholders cannot sell their shares because of the lack of a market or at least they cannot sell them on 'fair terms'. Furthermore, I suggest that the historical theoretical assumption behind most of the rules in company law in general on protection of the minority is that minority shareholders should only have protection equivalent to their share of the voting rights and/or capital in the company. However, for efficiency reasons, I believe that most minority rules based on this assumption fail to achieve their purpose, namely the protection of the minority in close corporations. The reason for this is that any minority protection based on proportional protection will put the minority shareholders in a relatively weaker position than the proportional rights of those shareholders. To achieve the intended minority protection, I believe the following two conditions have to be met. First, where a particular transaction or event discriminates against a minority shareholder (or shareholders), protection for minority shareholders can only be achieved after the transaction or event, and only if the minority shareholders have access to information equal to or at least similar to a hypothetical perfect market situation (a perfect information position). Second, minority shareholders who do have access to information equal to or at least similar to a hypothetical perfect market situation will be in a bargaining position based on the same information. However, even with this information, minority shareholders will be at a bargaining disadvantage vis-à-vis majority shareholders. The reason is that the position of a minority shareholder in a close corporation, as reflected in the minority share of the voting rights and/or capital, is a bargaining disadvantage in itself. Only by strengthening the relatively weaker bargaining position of the minority shareholders after a discriminatory situation, but prior to negotiations between the minority shareholders and the majority shareholders to negate the discriminatory behaviour, will there be a solution that is proportional to the minority shareholders' share of the voting rights and/or capital in the company (as well as others interests of minority shareholders in a close corporation, to the extent these can be protected by law). Hence, the minority shareholders' weaker bargaining position has to be strengthened by minimum legal rules and a right to opt in to a higher level of protection in the articles of association.
