摘要
Granting decision rights to minority shareholders protects them from expropriation by controlling shareholders, but it simultaneously fosters a mismatch between decision rights and decision-relevant information. Using the setting of China's classified voting system (CVS), which requires minority shareholder approval for managerial proposals, this study investigates the effect of such a regulation on investment responsiveness to profitability and equity value attributable to growth options. Following the real-options-based valuation model, we document that the adoption of CVS diminishes both investment responsiveness and equity value. This reduction is attributed to heightened financial constraints following the CVS implementation. Further analyses show the negative impacts are more pronounced for firms experiencing greater information asymmetry, lower mutual fund holdings, and severe agency conflicts. Our evidence indicates that the efficacy of the regulation is contingent on the alignment between decision rights of minority shareholders and decision-relevant information available to them. Our findings thus provide insights to the regulators regarding the advantages and disadvantages of allowing minority shareholders direct influence over corporate decision-making. L'impact du syst & egrave;me de vote classifi & eacute; sur l'investissement corporatif et la valeur des capitaux propresAccorder des droits de d & eacute;cision aux actionnaires minoritaires les prot & egrave;ge de l'expropriation par les actionnaires majoritaires, mais cela favorise en m & ecirc;me temps un d & eacute;calage entre les droits de d & eacute;cision et les informations pertinentes pour la prise de d & eacute;cision. Dans le cadre du syst & egrave;me de vote classifi & eacute; (SVC) chinois, qui exige l'approbation des actionnaires minoritaires pour les propositions de la direction, cette & eacute;tude examine l'effet d'une telle r & eacute;glementation sur la r & eacute;activit & eacute; de l'investissement & agrave; la rentabilit & eacute; et sur la valeur des capitaux propres attribuables aux options de croissance. En suivant le mod & egrave;le de valorisation bas & eacute; sur les options r & eacute;elles (VOR), nous montrons que l'adoption du SVC diminue & agrave; la fois la r & eacute;activit & eacute; de l'investissement et la valeur des capitaux propres. Cette r & eacute;duction est attribu & eacute;e aux contraintes financi & egrave;res accrues suite & agrave; la mise en oe uvre du SVC. Des analyses plus approfondies montrent que les effets n & eacute;gatifs sont plus prononc & eacute;s pour les entreprises qui pr & eacute;sentent une plus grande asym & eacute;trie d'informations, qui d & eacute;tiennent moins de fonds commun de placement et qui sont confront & eacute;es & agrave; de graves conflits d'agence. Nos donn & eacute;es indiquent que l'efficacit & eacute; de la r & eacute;glementation d & eacute;pend de l'alignement entre les droits de d & eacute;cision des actionnaires minoritaires et les informations utiles & agrave; la prise de d & eacute;cision dont ils disposent. Nos r & eacute;sultats fournissent donc aux autorit & eacute;s de r & eacute;glementation des indications sur les avantages et les inconv & eacute;nients qu'il y a & agrave; permettre aux actionnaires minoritaires d'exercer une influence directe sur la prise de d & eacute;cision des entreprises.
