Corrected entry: Why does Bruce instruct Rachel to give Gordon an antidote vial for mass production? That's Fox's job.

Corrected entry: When a company goes public, the directors always ensure that only 49% of the shares are actually available to the public, so that the directors - having the other 51% - will always retain control of the firm. Given this, if Bruce Wayne sold his original stake in Wayne Enterprises, it would have been impossible for him to buy back enough shares on the public market to give him control of the company, no matter how much he had to spend - the required number of shares just wouldn't have been available.
Correction: Bruce is the heir to the company, and therefore he owns 49% of the stock. He sells "a majority" of them to corporations that turn out to still be affiliated with him, and the directors sell their shares to small companies, which are also affiliated with Bruce. As such, at the end, Bruce still retained his 49%, as well as more than enough of the other director's shares to make up more than 51% of the company.

Correction: He didn't want her exposed. He gives her "TWO" vials, one is actually FOR Gordon to take if he becomes exposed (which he does) and the OTHER one is for him to give Fox for mass production. She was supposed to give it to Gordon, and then leave Gotham before the gas was released.
