The shares of Dorchester Pacific has slumped 96% to eight cents this year, shrinking its market value to just NZ$2.9 million.
The New Zealand Shareholders Association has support of 6.1% of shareholders in the company calling for the immediate appointment of a liquidator at an emergency general meeting. If that fails, they want chairman Barry Graham and Paul Byrnes to be removed as directors.
Both directors intend seeking re-election to the board.
