Abstract: This paper proposes a conceptual framework and investigates the ownership structure on involuntary delisting. To build the conceptual framework as a guide to reduce involuntary delisting through decreasing agency costs, protecting shareholders' rights, the background of governance practices and agency theory to be utilised. By developing a deeper understanding of the relationship between ownership structures on involuntary delisting, evidence from preceding studies suggested that this structure is of main importance in corporate governance because it determines the motivations of managers to control the agency problem. Since the impact of corporate governance mechanisms in each country depends on especial conditions; therefore, the mixed results for each of its factors are seen in literature; but majority of research is consistent with higher institutional ownership, ownership concentration, managerial ownership, CEO ownership, foreign ownership, free float ratio, and family ownership and lower state ownership having a significant negative impact on the probability of involuntary delisting.
