CONTROLLINGINTEREST
Controlling interest
A controlling interest is an ownership interest in a corporation that has control of a large enough percentage of voting stock shares such that no one stock holder or coalition of stock holders can successfully oppose a motion by that interest. In theory this could mean that controlling interest would be 33.4% or 50% of the voting shares plus one. A majority interest is always a controlling interest.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Controlling interest
