That presumes all shares are equal, which may not be the case. Perhaps "the 400" have no voting rights. Perhaps the owners have no stock, they just run the company, pay themselves whatever they want and pay "the 400" whatever they want. Who knows? Your assumptions are reasonable. But they rest on premises which JP has repeatedly heaped with scorn.
