I *think* that if he acquired 75% of the voting rights (directly or indirectly) then he could delist the company & make an offer to buy the remaining shares, and if he acquired 90% then he could force a squeeze out with the shares priced at a ‘fair value’... Hoping there’s someone with a far better understanding of takeovers than me on here though - for one I have no idea how the fair value is determined. I’d assume it’s simply a premium to the share price at that point in time, but there’s obviously a case for the book value of Webis being much higher than its current mcap, depending on how the licences are valued?
