26 Feb 202121 pages~53 min full read
TinyBuild Inc. established a defensive governance structure upon its 2021 Delaware incorporation and AIM listing, featuring a classified Board of Directors with staggered three-year terms.
The company authorized 800 million shares of common stock following a 1:129.826 stock split and the conversion of all preferred shares.
Any entity acquiring 50% or more of voting rights must initiate a mandatory cash offer to all remaining stockholders at the highest price paid by the acquirer during the preceding year.
Stockholders must disclose beneficial ownership starting at a 3% threshold, with mandatory reporting for every subsequent 1% change in ownership.
The Board of Directors holds the authority to suspend voting rights, withhold dividends, or restrict share transfers if stockholders fail to meet disclosure requirements within 14 days.
Amendments to corporate bylaws, voluntary delisting, or the removal of directors for cause require a supermajority 75% stockholder vote.
The company mandates Delaware as the exclusive legal forum while simultaneously adhering to the regulatory standards of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market.
TinyBuild Inc. established a comprehensive corporate governance framework through its 2021 recapitalization and incorporation in Delaware, coinciding with its listing on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market. The company authorized 800 million shares of common stock following a significant 1:129.826 stock split and the conversion of all preferred shares. This structural foundation prioritizes long-term stability and protection against hostile takeovers by implementing a classified Board of Directors with staggered three-year terms. Directors are shielded by robust indemnification clauses and can only be removed for cause by a supermajority 75% stockholder vote, which is the same high threshold required for any amendments to the corporate bylaws or voluntary delisting from the exchange.
The governance model incorporates rigorous transparency and regulatory compliance measures tailored for public listing. Stockholders are legally obligated to disclose beneficial ownership interests starting at a 3% threshold, with subsequent reporting required for every 1% change. Failure to meet these disclosure requirements within 14 days empowers the Board of Directors to impose severe sanctions, including the suspension of voting rights, the withholding of dividends, and the restriction of share transfers. These provisions ensure the company maintains a clear understanding of its ownership structure and can respond effectively to rapid accumulations of voting power.
Furthermore, the framework includes strict "Article XII" provisions regarding mandatory offers and control. Any entity acquiring 30% or more of the voting rights triggers specific disclosure rules, while reaching a 50% threshold necessitates a mandatory cash offer to all remaining stockholders at the highest price paid by the acquirer in the previous year. To protect minority interests, the Board maintains broad enforcement powers to penalize non-compliance, including the forced sale of securities. By designating Delaware as the exclusive legal forum while adhering to FCA and AIM standards, the company creates a dual-layered regulatory environment designed to balance director autonomy with stringent shareholder accountability.
