Selected
contendible
It is in European legislation and relates to the ease with which a company or co-operative can be controlled. In a co-operative you may have one vote per shareholder regardless of how many shares held. Not very "contendible", or easy to gain control of it. Therefore a lower fair value in an industry where mergers are at a premium.

contestable
generally used with reference to markets (i.e. contestable markets). see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contestable_market. i am not 100% sure you can talk about a contestable firm, though.
Note from asker:
| no. in fact it relates to the difference in voting rights of a cooperative vs. an Spa. |
| In fact, contestable is also widely used in Europeand and US literature in relation to voting rights/control issues...thanks for your input. |
