Shareholder right to information
The ability to obtain company documents: the articles, minutes, financial statements, the list of affiliated persons.
How to read the number
The extent of access depends on the size of the holding: some documents are open to any holder, others only to those with a material stake.
When the metric lies
A company is permitted to restrict certain information, and answering a request takes time. Counting on documents arriving before a vote is unwise.
