Benefits of being a Top 20 Shareholders

Hi, I will like to find out if anyone here has harnessed any benefits from being a top 20 shareholder in a company you are deeply vested in? For e.g. being able to communicate with the management directly etcetra. Is this a given privilege?

i think unless u become ssh ie own >5%, otherwise no diff.

Even 5% also no diff, more reports to be done on buy or sell under by-law.
