They wouldn't meet with just anyone. If they're sitting down to talk to you, then that means you are potentially going to invest so much that you become a major share holder, and you have a history to prove you are a sincere investor.

Major shareholders are not only filled in just for the sake of being informed of where their money is going, but also because their control stock is significant enough to allow them to exert a controlling influence on the firm's decisions.
Remember when Capcom decided some of their I.P.'s were up for sale? That was due to a majority shareholder decision. Because they were not happy with the ways things were going. So it's not as simple as "they can just sell their stock if they're not happy".

That's not entirely true tbh I work in the financial industry it's not as simple as owning shares and you have control the are numerous factors, he's actually right in the fact that if they're unhappy they just sell, for example what is available to buy on the stock market may never be enough to have a controlling stake in a company, I know Nintendo themselves own a large enough bulk of their own shares to always have control.

Another thing of note is that buying shares on the market doesn't give you contractual control of the going ons in a company, you're simply investing in the company to make a return, a company is not actually required to tell share holders anything until their usual reports to notify you of the company's performance and future plans, they don't need to call you up when they have an idea even if you're a major shareholder. Shareholders at most can pressure for a move to be made but a company doesn't have to act on the pressure, for example Nintendo have a tonne of money despite their problems, in the long run they're fine so investors pulling out and selling doesn't affect them as much as a company like Capcom who need the money a lot more than anything else.
