20 is not much at all. I mean most of the time CEO and such have the most share holders.. Like in Microsoft you think Bill gates will ever have less then 50% ? Also even if you have 20 and someone else has 25% then you are just the same.. You are not the strong arm at all. So 20% don't mean anything at all.. You can try to purswade all the rest of the share holders to go your way or buy everything up to where you are the majority.. but most of the time it isn't practical. And most of the time shareholders will go with what is going to make them money. So i didn't think Sony would have to do too much persuasion there.
