Abstract

This chapter focuses on shareholder voting and engagement of Singapore-incorporated companies and companies that are listed on Singapore Exchange. It explains the relationship between directors and shareholders, the formal and informal means of shareholder engagement, and shareholder rights relating to voting, asking questions and receiving information. Quite apart from the ‘law in the books’, the practice of shareholder engagement is illustrated with contentious and challenging examples, including related-party transactions, the delisting of proposals amounting to the expropriation of minority shareholders, dual-class structures and ‘say on pay’. © 2022 Cambridge University Press.
