2020 BRN Discussion, page-27780

When other companies I have held (have been subject of a takeover and I am not totally convinced that that might be the case here) I have felt completely ignored by the companies concerned.

I have been invested in BRN for far too long for that to be the case this time around. Given that retail hold 30 to 40% of the company and you only need 25% to block any takeover we should consider how retail ie the plebs might rise up and use their market power to ensure that this is not what happens here.

We have a platform to get actual shareholders together and persons like yourself able to provide a proper platform to take polls of what real shareholders views are and to communicate those majority views to the Board and management.

Time will tell and I am not convinced as I say but you and others might like to give some thought to retail shareholder power. I am happy to be the vocal point (yes I deliberately have used the word 'vocal') but would need the technically literate in the true sense of the word to provide the platform to properly poll retail shareholders so it is a democratically developed opinion that is being presented.

My opinion only.
