In other words, if you are accepting outside shareholders into your company, you are no longer allowed to make any decisions for any other reason than profit, not unless other shareholders would consent to it. This is the law. However, as a shareholder, you have the right to choose who you would like to have on the board, for any sort of arbitrary reasons.
