Who will have controlling interest in RM?

Post by wabbithunta »

This may sound a bit odd as the shares are not yet being "officially traded" yet so no one really knows who owns, or will soon own, the majority of shares, apart from the Government with its 30-32% share, assuming it still has that block of shares after the sell-off last week.

Who will soon have controlling interest - Majority shareholders - in RM now that it's privatised. It could be interesting to see what kind of voice we, as posties, have if we turned up en masse to a shareholders AGM, after all 10% is still a large chunk and surely we'd have some clout of sorts? I doubt it would go down well though if posties spoke their minds at an AGM though.

As someone said on another thread about the share price...

Discuss.

It will be foreign investment funds from Kuwait and Singapore if we are led to belief.

The Queen (ours) might show how patriotic she is and buy a majority stake as she does invest her own, vast, personal wealth somewhere.
