When Government becomes a controlling shareholder, it looks like they may have a fiduciary duty to the corporation.
See http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/fiduciary-responsibility-corporations.html

In certain circumstances, fiduciary duties may also apply to controlling stockholders who possess a majority interest in or exercise control over corporate business activities, but not to other ordinary shareholders. A breach of a fiduciary duty may result in personal legal liability for the director, officer, or controlling shareholder. State statutory law, judicial decisions, and corporate articles of incorporation and bylaws may also impact a person's fiduciary obligations to a corporation. ..... Conflicts of interest, efforts to compete with the corporation, or making secret profits from corporate business dealings are typical examples of disloyalty. Under the corporate opportunity doctrine, officers and directors may not secretly divert or take advantage of business options for their own personal profit. .... officers and directors may confidentially learn about a lucrative development opportunity being offered to their real estate corporation. Officers and directors must not secretly profit from this situation or act upon it in a manner that harms corporate interests.
