How about issuing yourself Preferred Shares, with a 1-to-1 conversion ratio, then personally casting the needed "yes" votes to execute a 1-for-200 Reverse Split, which has no impact on the number of shares in the holder's Preferred portfolio! The bearer of the Preferred shares cleverly and instantly improved the value of the holding by a factor of 200X!
