The company can be sold without permission from the shareholders. The majority shareholder has drag-along rights. I hope this helps with any doubts. Good luck everyone.

Drag-along rights is a right that enables a majority shareholder to force a minority shareholder to join in the sale of a company. The majority owner doing the dragging must give the minority shareholder the same price, terms, and conditions as any other seller.


BREAKING DOWN 'Drag-Along Rights'

This is designed to protect the majority shareholder. Because some buyers are only looking to have complete control of a company, drag-along rights help to eliminate minority owners and sell 100% of a company's securities to the buyer.
