Question 6 [from Week 11, 7 marks]
Katie Mcdermott is a retired entrepreneur. She holds a significant number of shares in Nimble Technologies Pty Ltd. Katie has been quite unhappy about the management of the company, particularly as it seems that directors have had pay increases each year, and seem to have significant benefits in the form of cars, trips and various other expenses paid on their behalf. Katie suspects that the directors are acting generally for their own benefit, and not in the interests of all shareholders. She is particularly interested in how certain shareholders have increased their holdings, and whether the company has been assisting a particular group of shareholders at the expense of the shareholders in general.
