Ordinary shareholders have the right to vote at AGMs but do not partake in day-to-day management.

Ordinary shareholders have the right to vote at AGMs but do not partake in day-to-day management.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for private companies
• D. Only if appointed as directors

Answer: (A)

Ownership rights include voting at general meetings, while day-to-day operations are handled by the board and management. Ordinary shareholders own the company and can vote on major matters at AGMs (like electing directors and approving accounts and dividends), but they do not run the business daily. This applies to both private and public companies, and voting rights aren’t dependent on being a director. Being a director gives a seat on the board, which changes influence, but ordinary shareholders still vote regardless. So the statement is true.
