Shareholder rights
The powers and rights of shareholders increase with the proportion of shares they hold. Naturally, majority shareholders have the most power. However, there is a temptation for this power to be misused which prejudices minority shareholders unfairly. To protect against misuse of power, shareholder agreements can be drafted in order to place appropriate restrictions on majority holders.
Irrespective of the size of the holdings, all shareholders generally have the right to attend and vote at general meetings, access and company records and register, receive any leftover monies in proportion to shareholding in the event the company is wound up and receive a dividend where profits are made.
