what is a minority stockholder
Below are three significant rights of minority stockholders. 1) Inspection Right. A minority stockholder has the right to inspect the corporationâs stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records (and to make copies of such items). Moreover, there are certain tricky evidentiary issues.
Indeed, whether a minority common stockholder is a founder, an advisor or even a friends/family investor, such stockholder will usually not be contractually granted any of the rights that are typically granted to preferred stockholders.
