How can a publicly traded company shut down without a vote or notice?

197 viewsEconomicsOther

My partner was informed last week that her publicly traded company is shutting down, and from my current understanding there was no buy out/merger or bankruptcy filing. Shareholders didn’t vote on it and it is not a single majority owned company (over half company owned by individuals or public companies). I’d like to know the scenarios in which this could happen.

Typically, something like that would require at least the board of directors to approve and a plan for buying out shareholders. They can’t just make a company disappear and shareholders are left with nothing. Are you sure there wasn’t a bankruptcy or acquisition? What is the company? Having knowledge would allow ability to look into what’s actually going on because how you describe it makes very little sense.
