> If you have majority voting power, why try to take the company private (as it has been suggested by others here)?

I don't know their governance structure, but the CEO may have a majority of votes, but not own a majority of the actual shares. Being able to take the company private would give her (and her other investors) full economic control as well as voting control.

This is risky ground, of course. Even with voting control, legally the CEO cannot screw over the minority shareholders.
