In the corporate governance structure, small and medium-sized shareholders often face challenges such as information asymmetry and insufficient voice power, and the protection of their interests has become a major focus. So, how to ensure that the interests of minority shareholders are fully protected?
First of all, enhanced information disclosure is key. The company should regularly and comprehensively disclose important information such as financial status and operating performance to ensure that minority shareholders can fully understand the company's operating conditions.
Second, establish a fair voting mechanism. The general meeting of shareholders shall ensure that the voting rights of minority shareholders are respected and prevent major shareholders from abusing their power to the detriment of minority shareholders.
In addition, the introduction of independent directors and a board of supervisors system is also an effective means. Independent directors can speak on behalf of minority shareholders and protect their rights and interests; The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the company and preventing insider control.
Finally, the improvement of laws and regulations is also crucial. **The legal protection of the rights and interests of small and medium-sized shareholders should be strengthened, and the behavior that harms the interests of small and medium-sized shareholders should be severely cracked down.
To sum up, protecting the interests of small and medium-sized shareholders requires a multi-pronged approach, from information disclosure, voting mechanism, corporate governance to laws and regulations, etc., to jointly build a fair and just investment environment.
