Delaware and Texas are turning shareholder rights into shareholding rights: the power to propose, inspect, or sue now depends on owning enough stock. India has done this for a generation. New post with Aditya Baheti on @CLSBlueSky:

My recently published article The Shareholder Democracy Lie, 78 Fla. L. Rev. 723 (2026) (with @sergioalberto_ and Daniel J.H. Greenwood) was featured in The Chancery Daily this week: mailchi.mp/e0ef9432ebbe/2026…
It was a pleasure talking with @BLaw about business courts. Check out the article here: news.bloomberglaw.com/litiga…
Thanks to @morgansimon1 for citing my @BLaw op-ed in @Forbes. Shareholder proposals are the canary in the corporate governance mine shaft. The @SECGov’s proposal to rescind Rule 14a-8 would silence it. Comments are due November 20.

New on @SSRN: The Shareholding Rights Shift from India to Delaware and Texas (w/ Aditya Baheti). We argue American corporate law has become shareholding-centric rather than shareholder-centric using India as a comparative mirror to DE and TX bit.ly/IndiaTXDE

@UPS & @bikeflights, I’d love to know how my bike gets to Bayonne, NJ & vanishes at the shipping facility. Shall I file a police report because it seems clearly someone at @UPS has stolen my bicycle? I will now instruct my broker to sell any @UPS stock he may have purchased

Several participants are seated around U-shaped tables with laptops, notebooks, and water bottles, listening as a presentation is displayed on a laptop screen. The room has large windows, modern furnishings, and a collaborative workshop setting.
I spoke to @FT last week regarding the impact of ExxonMobil's recent corporate governance moves. Check out the article below:
ft.com/content/df23c041-d506… via @FT
Check out the latest episode of the @fordhamcorpcntr Bite Sized Business Podcast during which I discuss ExxonMobil’s first of its kind retail investor voting program. As Broadridge is now marketing the model more broadly it’s sure to be adopted by others. @SMULawSchool
Is ExxonMobil's new retail investor program empowering retail investors or consolidating corporate power? @ProfSautter explains the controversial new program, challenges of investor participation, implications for corp governance, shareholder rights, and investor influence.

I’m honored to have been quoted by the @FT regarding ExxonMobil’s shareholder vote tmrw. The vote tmrw is larger than Exxon. It is potentially a model moving forward for all large corporations with a significant retail shareholder base

ExxonMobil’s shareholder meeting is May 27. After NYC Comptroller heavily relied upon my work in its letter to Exxon shareholders, Exxon decided to take shots at me w/out substantively engaging w/ my arguments. I have responded in @CLSBlueSkyBlog
