Guest: Dr Ismet Yusoff, CEO, Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG)
When a takeover or privatisation offer lands, minority shareholders face a tough choice, often needing to decipher complex documents and jargon. What's the difference between an offer that's 'fair' versus one that's merely 'reasonable,' and how can you protect your interests?
Dr. Ismet Yusoff, CEO of the Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG), joins us to demystify the world of corporate actions and shareholder rights. He explains how to assess takeover offers, the crucial role of independent advisors, and how corporate governance is evolving beyond compliance to include critical ESG issues like workplace safety.
We discuss:
The critical difference between a "fair" and a "reasonable" takeover offer.
The specific risks minority shareholders face during privatisations.
MSWG's role in monitoring companies and protecting investor rights.
How corporate governance has evolved to include ESG and social issues.
Practical tips for effectively participating in AGMs and EGMs.
For retail investors and anyone serving on a corporate board, this is a guide to understanding shareholder rights, assessing corporate actions, and promoting better corporate governance.
