As it is today, the controlling stockholder cannot transfer money to and from a public corporation. While there is good reason why none should transfer money FROM a public corporation, there's no reason whatsoever why a controlling shareholder is not able to make a gift of cash TO a public corp, especially when it's heavily indebted, to avoid its closure. This is actually unrealistic and a counter-incentive to IPOing shares and having public corporations, which the game should normally encourage IMO.
Many times I found myself confronted with an old, fully upgraded, corporation of mine (especially Luxury Goods in the last game years), owned 50%-50% by my CEO and my country which is heavily indebted and I can't do anything about it. So I end up selling all my country's stocks to my CEO to be able to save the corp with money injections.
I suggest that majority shareholders should be able to transfer cash TO (not from) a public corporation. It is fair and realistic.
