FAQ
Common shareholders are granted six rights: voting power, ownership, the right to transfer ownership, a claim to dividends, the right to inspect corporate documents, and the right to sue for wrongful acts.
Call for an audit or poll (at least 10% of shares required) A shareholder can force an audit in regard to a company's accounts or demand a poll in regard to a proposed resolution.
The eligible shareholders have two options. They can either apply for the rights or sell their rights in the market just like any other shares. Read more to know how to apply for rights issues. One of the key benefits of RE is that anyone can buy the rights (shares) of a company from the secondary market.
The process of redesignating shares To redesignate shares, the members of the company must pass an ordinary resolution with the following details: The name of the shareholder and the number of shares to be redesignated. The class of shares they originally belong to. The class of shares they are being redesignated into.
When one partner owns 51% or more, they are known as a majority owner. Anyone who owns 49% or less is a minority owner. On a day-to-day basis, this may not make much difference. Both people own the business and benefit from the revenue that it generates.
Majority shareholders can legally force minority shareholders to sell stock under drag-along clauses, buyout provisions, and court orders. Minority shareholders are often compelled to sell shares in corporate takeovers and mergers when acquirers anticipate 100% equity ownership.
For example, newly created A & B shares may, going forward have different voting rights, rights to dividends or capital on a winding up. The process of altering the rights attaching to shares requires the company to obtain relevant class (shareholder) consent.
To do this, current shareholders can either transfer or sell their shares to the new shareholder, or the company can increase its share capital by issuing additional shares. Keep in mind, however, that issuing new shares reduces the ownership percentages of existing shareholders.
For being about to transfer shares, the shareholder would require the board members' approval and the approval of all the other shareholders in the company. Once this is done, the share transfer form is filled in, and the new share certificate is issued ingly to the person getting the shares.
Even if one does not hold any shares, they are still eligible for the rights issue. They can apply for the rights shares either through the RTA's portal or via net banking ASBA if their bank permits it.
