minority shareholder rights

Minority shareholder rights refer to protections and entitlements for shareholders who own a small portion of a company. These rights ensure they can access important information, voice concerns at meetings, and sometimes challenge decisions made by majority shareholders or management. They may also have the ability to vote on major issues like mergers or changes to the company’s structure. These rights help prevent larger shareholders from making decisions that unfairly disadvantage smaller investors and ensure they have a say in significant company matters.
