If the other shareholders have long known that I am the actual investor, is a further vote still required?
Not necessarily. If the other shareholders were aware of your status as the actual investor and raised no objection for a long time (for example, you actually attended shareholders’ meetings and received profit distributions), the court may treat it as ‘implied consent,’ and the majority-vote procedure need not be repeated.
