This investigators released a lot even with that much obscurity and censorship.

Today(Friday) there'll be the shareholders meeting, that potentially can bash the Japanese board of directors and crash the Japanese stock market.

This is bigger than toshiba.

"Today(Friday) there'll be the shareholders meeting, that potentially can bash the Japanese board of directors and crash the Japanese stock market."

The biggest foreign stockholder is only 7.4% of the total stock (hope you know what that entails).

Enough to crush and bash many posters feelings, that's all.

"Overseas investors now account for around 50% of Toshiba's shareholders"

And?"

1) They are still NOT in the majority.

2) No controlling majority,

3) No ownership.

4) The biggest overseas shareholder (biggest moaner too) accounts for a mere 7.4% of the stock

3) All of the above: FACTS.

3) No ownership.

Easy way to get the truth and bypass all these coverup attempts: ask the Harvard fund what happened.

"do you even understand what a company share is?

Do you know the difference between preferential and ordinary shareholding?

Do you understand the concept of crystallisation?

I only talk when I know.

A senior METI official, Masayoshi Arai, said investigators presented a summary of Mizuno's comments despite being asked to show how his statements would be used in the report.

They also included comments they had been asked by Mizuno not to use, Arai said.

Oh dear. The investigators are not following Kasumigaseki's script.

Do you even know what is the % required to pass a Special Resolution at a GM?

Do you know the remedies available to disgruntled shareholders?

I know.

"so you don't say much then."

Au contraire; check my posting history.

Free knowledge in there, available

Do you even know what is the % required to pass a Special Resolution at a GM?

Who said anything about passing a special resolution?

A special resolution (requires 2/3 of votes) is necessary to dismiss a director.

But only an ordinary resolution (simple majority) is necessary to elect a director. You just need 51% of votes against a proposal to reelect a director.

"reelect" → "not reelect" (which is kind of similar to dismissing).

But only an ordinary resolution (simple majority) is necessary to elect a director. You just need 51% of votes against a proposal to reelect a director."

I don't need Wiki to tell me any of this.
