What are Minority Protections?
Minority protections are legal rights that safeguard minority shareholders from unfair treatment by majority owners or controlling investors.
Minority Protections Meaning
The minority protections' meaning centres on fairness, balance and governance. To define minority protections in practice, these rights can include veto powers over key decisions, tag-along rights on exits, information rights, anti-dilution protection and protections against forced share transfers at unfair prices. A clear minority protections definition ensures that shareholders with smaller stakes are not overridden on critical matters such as share issues, company sales or changes to rights. Minority protections stand for trust and stability in venture-backed companies, helping attract both founders and investors by reducing power imbalance.
