Shareholders' Rights and Roles
Main Roles of Shareholders
One of the main roles of shareholders is to elect the board of directors, who are responsible for managing the company and making important decisions on behalf of the shareholders. Shareholders also have the right to vote on important matters such as the adoption of financial statements and major corporate actions, such as mergers and acquisitions. This allows shareholders to have a say in the direction of the company and hold the board of directors accountable for their actions.

Another important right of shareholders is the right to receive dividends. Dividends are payments made by the company to its shareholders out of its profits. The decision to declare dividends is made by the board of directors, but shareholders have the right to receive them if they are declared.
​
​In addition to the right to vote and receive dividends, shareholders also have the right to receive a share of the company's assets if it is dissolved. This includes both the company's tangible assets, such as property and equipment, as well as its intangible assets, such as trademarks and copyrights.
Shareholders also have the right to inspect the company's records and documents, including financial statements and minutes of meetings. This allows shareholders to stay informed about the company's financial performance and decisions made by the board of directors.
​
Overall, the rights of shareholders are designed to give them a say in the operation and management of the company and to protect their investment. These rights are an important aspect of corporate governance and ensure that the interests of shareholders are taken into account in the decision-making process.
