    I don’t see how 51% could be a trial of anything as they’d lose control. 49% you could see how pressure from investors harms the company though and could painfully be walked back from. Terrible idea though.

      They were considering selling 49%, but the percentage is meaningless without looking at the articles, the bylaws, and resolutions. A lot of corporations make things more strict than the Bus Corp. act. You can always make things more strict, you can’t make them more lax.

      In fact, some things require a “Special Resolution” which is 2/3rds.
      BUT, that can mean 2/3 of the shareholders who show up, as long as enough people show up to make a quorum.
      And a quorum can be as small as 1 person, again, depending on the Articles, bylaws, and resolutions.
