The room quieted immediately. "Starting today, I'll be strictly enforcing company policy regarding the selling of shares."
A few people exchanged confused looks. Seb continued without pause.
"If any shareholder wishes to sell their shares, those shares can only be sold back to me." Silence.
Then confusion. Then immediate outrage. "Excuse me?" one board member snapped.
Seb ignored the interruption. "Any sale made to another buyer without my approval," he continued coldly, "will be considered invalid."
The room exploded instantly. "You can't do that!"
"What kind of arrangement is this?"
"That's insane!" Seb remained standing calmly while voices rose around him.
"There has been intentional targeting against this company," he said sharply, finally cutting through the noise. "And in order to protect all our interests, I need everyone's cooperation until this matter is resolved."
