Dissenters' rights in corporate reorganizations allow dissenting shareholders to do what?

Dissenters’ rights are protective measures for minority shareholders when a fundamental corporate change—like a merger or sale of most assets—occurs. If you object to the reorganizing plan, these rights let you demand appraisal and require the company to buy your shares at their fair value, as determined by an appraisal process or court. The goal is to ensure you receive fair compensation for your investment rather than being forced into an unfavorable deal. These rights focus on financial remedy, not on removing directors or altering governance, so they don’t authorize forcing the board to resign, changing the company name, or converting the corporation into a partnership.
