  • Since companies with high foreign shareholdings generally have higher corporate governance practices, there are concerns about practices in MBO cases for many companies that do not have high foreign shareholdings.
  • When a company whose “goal is IPO” conducts MBO when the stock price is lower than at IPO, there are concerns about whether the special committee will guide MBO fairly.
