how can they take the deal money keeping away the other shareholders, this is ofence and false in misrepresentation and criminal breach of trust, without geting partition wether domesticaly or thru court, no shareholder can take such brave decision, first the each and every thing wil b seperated in acordance with law and than every shareholder can take the step for disposal of his share, joint ownership comprise joint rites and rites of every one valuable, if still that deal is incomplete than you can get an injunctive order from court, you must make the party withwhome that deal is under process or even completed.
