Actually, this isn't correct. Sure, you can talk to whatever shareholders you want, but if the stock is still privately held the company can actually dictate whether you can sell the stock or not, and to who. Company does not have to buy it back, and doesn't have to allow a sale if it does not want to buy it. Trust me, I've been there.

Now, some companies might not restrict sale, but that'd be somewhat unusual.
