yes your right, But there are conditions attached to that. one being they must do a buy backPassage of special resolutions
A person who owns or has voting control over 75% or more of a company’s shares can unilaterally pass a special resolution, because it requires approval by at least 75% of the votes cast. Under the Corporations Act, certain matters need to be passed by a special resolution of shareholders, eg amendments to the constitution, change of company name, change of company type, selective reduction of capital, selective buy-back of shares and winding-up. (In practice, a person can normally pass a special resolution on their own with less than a 75% interest given voter turnout at company meetings is often substantially lower than 100%.)
(Note: where there remain minority shareholders in a company, the company’s directors cannot favour the controlling shareholder over the others because the directors have a duty to consider the interests of the company as a whole. Further, related party dealings that require shareholder approval will likely need to be approved by the minority shareholders alone, with the controlling shareholder(s) excluded from voting.)
