The Minister of Justice has sent a letter to parliament in which he describes the features of possible statutory provisions regarding long-term shareholding and loyalty rights. These provisions would allow listed companies to award extra voting rights or dividend to shareholders who have held their shares for a longer period, as specified in the company's articles of association.
