- Rather than lowering the minimum investment amount, attention is focused on whether the essence of the issue is whether the long-standing unit share system can be abolished.
- This system, which doesn’t grant voting rights to shareholders who don’t hold more than certain number shares, has led companies to turn inward-looking by making AGMs skeleton and accelerating cross-shareholdings.
- With corporate racketeer, who triggered the introduction of this system, gone and the reduction of cross-shareholdings beginning, shareholder units that can exercise voting rights for open AGMs should be reexamined.
