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

203 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.

same way any other company shuts down. being publicly traded is just a way for them to raise money. If the money is gone and we can’t afford to operate anymore……….you shut down.

Being publicly traded has nothing to do with being a good functioning business.
