Having activist shareholders out there really does embolden the aggressors because they know that when they make a hostile bid, they may be able to get more assistance from shareholders who flow into the stock than they had in the past.

Jim Stynes

Shareholders basically have got more debt, more fees, more equities.

Mark Husson

We remain confident about the Group's future prospects and are committed to returning value to shareholders.

Charles Scott

We feel that a $1 billion capital margin is appropriate to maintain for the company. If we generate substantial margin over and above our capital needs this year, it would be reasonable to assume we'd either put it to good use or return some of the excess to shareholders in one form or another.

Joshua King

It's a very exciting deal that's good for Mirage's shareholders. This will change the face of the gaming industry.

Shareholders are becoming aware that when they do the right thing, it's also the right business decision as well. Most corporations understand that they need to serve gays and lesbians, and they realize that extremist positions have no place in the business community.

We never again want to have questions raised about the objectivity of our research, ...

Sanford Weill

Given the negative business climate created by the federal government, we cannot today recommend to our shareholders that CI pursue an income trust structure.

William Holland

Anna Rozenich

There are plenty of well-dressed people now going to prison for defrauding their shareholders, ... We have to be careful about making assumptions about folks simply on the way they look. That's a dangerous thing to do because it's how we start to create stereotypes.

Glass Lewis

CDC is made up of Pivotal, IMI, which is a supply chain player, and Ross, which is an ERP player. CDC has integrated none of these into a suite. This new entity was going to be made up of all these new pieces, plus Onyx. Our shareholders were going to walk away being a small, minority owner in CDC, as opposed to being 100 percent owners in Onyx, a company that is doing very well right now.

Todd Chambers

The high price of petrol continues to play on consumers' minds. Shareholders have cause to be less joyous about the value of their savings. This strengthens the Reserve Bank's case to stay on the interest-rate sidelines.

Andrew Mitchell

This represents an annual cash dividend of $.32 per share and an increase of $.04 per share, or 14%, over the dividends paid for 2005. This increase reflects our continued strong performance and commitment to deliver value to our shareholders.

Richard Thoman

We have demonstrated a high level of acquisition discipline in the past, and shareholders expect us to maintain that going forward.

John Munro

The regulations on exchange controls were significant to local firms as they brought enormous exposure to risk. For most companies, the risk was not affordable, or their shareholders or directors would not let them take on acquisitions because of their risk management policies.

Our mission remains to balance long-term growth ambitions with ongoing return to shareholders, fully justifying their confidence in the group.

How can shareholders have confidence that GM can advise Delphi on how to get out of its mess, when GM is incapable of getting out of the mess it's in itself?

Eugene Jennings

Nike often reinvests its revenues into research and development of such new products. Understandably, Nike and its shareholders cannot allow infringement to occur unchallenged.
