The threshold of which shareholders can pass a resolution for approval can be ordinary (50%) or special (75%). Sony own 8% of the shares (and therefore the voting rights) in Square Enix. I was suggesting they were going to team up with another shareholder who owned 20% of the shares/voting rights to be able to block the special resolution to allow the game to be on 360 (28% against would mean only 72% for, so it wouldn't pass). Of course, none of this would ever happen since it's only applicable to UK law. And the shareholders wouldn't be bothered about such trivial stuff as what platform a game would be on, that'd be up to the directors. (Although I often wonder what Sony does with their 8% shareholding in Square Enix. Do they ever use it to push more content onto their systems?) Anyway, INTERESTING RITE?! |
What I understand from this is that you basically gave me a good explanation that couldn't be possible since SE is a Japanese company, that follows Japanese-rules.
:(
Isn't this kind of thing used in politics, though? As in, minority parties teaming-up with the big ones in exchange of mutual goodies, and, blocking off the other parties?
