Preference Shares Sample Clauses
The Preference Shares clause defines the rights and privileges associated with preference shares issued by a company. Typically, this clause outlines features such as priority in dividend payments, preferential treatment upon liquidation, and sometimes special voting rights compared to ordinary shares. For example, holders of preference shares may receive a fixed dividend before any dividends are paid to ordinary shareholders, and in the event of company dissolution, they may be paid out before other equity holders. The core function of this clause is to clearly establish the hierarchy and benefits of preference shareholders, thereby attracting investment by offering reduced risk and enhanced returns relative to common shareholders.
