A Reluctance to Confront Shareholders Is at the Root of Many Problems
- Until now, listed companies have been reluctant to even lower the minimum shareholder purchase amount for reasons of economic rationality and administrative costs.
- The same issues underlie reluctance of companies in lowering amount to purchase shares, online AGMs, electronic delivery of text in notice of convocations, and pre-AGM disclosure of annual securities reports.
- Companies have been focused on controlling AGM rather than facing shareholders to increase their interests. This practice is problem that can lead to slower ROE and excessive cash on hand.
