TOYOTA CITY: Toyota Motor Corp shareholders approved a controversial new class of stock that will bring in more long-term investors, but which faced opposition from foreign funds as the shares are only readily available in Japan.
About 75% of shareholders voted in favour of allowing the new shares, which will be unlisted and must be held for five years. After that, shareholders can convert them into common stock or have Toyota buy them back at their issue price.
