It's very very very rare, I've never actually heard of a case where it's been enacted, though every state has a similar law.

For one, most people don't own 15% of a company without sitting on the board or having close relations as an insider. Two, most people who have that many doubts about a company's financial position just sell, since the stock is headed to a dime (sljb started there, that's the difference)
Three, it's a hostile action, and odds are if that's the only way shareholders can get information, there are going to be some firings on the horizon soon.

Also keep in mind the company could very well decide to fight back hard. They could require proof, which may mean all those investors pulling physical certs, they could also just opt to let a court decide whether a collection of investors really represents a single interest.

I can't predict that ending well, to be honest.
