Shareholder Voting Rights. Shareholder voting rights have been the primary indicator of investor protection in the quantitative literature. These data refer to the ease and efficacy with which shareholders can voice their preferences through the shareholder meeting. Shareholder meetings are organized gatherings in which shareholders can receive information about a companies business situation and vote on proposals that have been suggested by the board of directors, managers or shareholders. Shareholders meetings are typically held once a year at an annual general meeting (AGM), though pressing matters, such as the issuance of new equity, consideration of takeover bids, or mid-year reorganization of the corporate board may warrant calling an extraordinary general meeting (EGM). When shareholders have voting rights that amplify their power within the firm, they are better able to act as a check on managerial self-dealing. Many papers, most notably La Porta et al. (1997 1998), have demonstrated that these indicators correlate with better capital market performance. The dependent variable used most commonly to capture the extent of shareholder voting rights comes from La Porta et al.'s (1998) dataset. This variable draws on survey responses by market professionals in 47 countries and notes, in a single, cumulative index the presence or absence of six key shareholder voting rights in 1997.. These six rights include (1) whether proxy voting by mail is allowed; (2) whether shares are not blocked before a shareholder meeting, (3) whether cumulative voting for directors is allowed, (4) whether oppressed minorities are protected, (5) whether the share capital required to call an extraordinary shareholder meeting is less than 10 percent, and (6) whether shareholders have pre-emptive rights at new equity offerings. Higher values on the shareholder rights index denote higher corporate governance standards. Before moving on, it is worth explaining each constituent part of La Porta el al.'s index.

A written consent shall bear the date of signature of the Shareholder who signs the consent. Written consents are not effective to take corporate action unless within sixty (60) days after the record date for determining Shareholders entitled to express consent to or to dissent from a proposal without a meeting, written consents dated not more than ten (10) days before the record date and signed by a sufficient number of Shareholders to take the action are delivered to the Corporation. Delivery shall be to the Corporation’s registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the minutes of the proceedings of the Shareholders. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to Shareholders who would have been entitled to notice of the Shareholder meeting if the action had been taken at a meeting and who have not consented to the action in writing. An electronic transmission consenting to an action must comply with the DGCL.
