"I ask companies to seriously listen to the voices of shareholders and actively communicate with them to understand their legitimate demands," said Lee Bok-hyun, director of the Financial Supervisory Commission. "I ask that companies actively share with their shareholders as they continue their efforts to enhance shareholder value and establish a sound governance structure," Mr. Li said at a meeting with activist funds, representatives of listed companies and market experts.
