Hi Trotsky - If a majority shareholder (owning 70%+ of the stock) could simply do as they choose, and deliberately prejudice minority shareholders (so as to devalue their shareholding, avoid paying equitable dividends etc), there quite simply wouldn't be any privately held companies with minority shareholders. In the UK I believe this is covered (but please don't quote me), as I'm no expert) under section 994 of the Companies Act 2006.
Additionally, I personally don't see what Aggarwal (with his 80%+ holding) motivation would be to treat other shareholders unfairly. Currently and understandably, given the recent demise of the share price, I can see why delisting the company isn't perceived to in the interests of the minority shareholders but who know's what might happen post delisting. Aggarwal's personal net worth has taken a hit of £200m+ in the last week, which I'm sure he has a plans to recover (and some) post delisting.
Anyway just my thoughts and appreciate the healthy debate.
Best and Good luck.
