european takeover directives
12y ago#1One share one vote means exactly that - to stop shareholders blocking a takeover because they have multiple votes.
I certainly would not worry about the breakthrough rule (since only the three Baltic States have adopted it - other EU countries have opted out). Again the basic idea of it is to stop shareholders blocking a takeover - they can't impose restrictions on transfers of shares etc. once a bid has been made.
