Shareholding offer

[lz1]

Company is being taken over and restructured.
I am in senior position and review of Ts & Cs would mean a reduction in salary but being offered a shareholding in the business.
Should I accept or refuse.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Impossible to really say without any information.

A small shareholding in a private company isn't worth very much. You have no control. There might be no dividends.

If it's a quoted company, you can read the stockbrokers' analysis and you can trade in the shares.

Is the takeover good for your company anyway? Was it in trouble? Does it guarantee its future?
