Abstract

In the context of the rapid development of the capital market and the frequent occurrence of expropriation incidents by major shareholders, this paper analyzes the process and methods by which the major shareholder of Pangda Group expropriates the listed company. Using event study methodology, the excess returns and cumulative excess returns are calculated to assess the negative impact of major shareholders' expropriation behavior on the capital market. The paper also proposes a series of suggestions for the protection of minority shareholders' rights under the expropriation of major shareholders, including the identification of warning signals and strengthening supervision, improving the collective litigation system, and introducing institutional investors to assist minority shareholders in participating in corporate governance and defending their rights. These suggestions aim to provide guidance for the protection of minority shareholders' interests in listed companies and contribute to the maintenance of order and healthy development of the capital market.
