Lawyers for public companies across the world may not have
expected this, but a recent UK appellate decision on an Antigua and
Barbuda company greatly enhanced global shareholder rights. The

offshore jurisdictions for company incorporation, and the company
in this case is one of more than 850 non-U.S. companies publicly
listed in the United States (foreign private issuers or
FPIs)1 Since the total number of companies listed in the
United States is less than 6,000, foreign private issuers account
for a substantial percentage of them2.
