Types of Share
 
  • Ordinary shares - Ordinary shares generally carry the right to a vote. Where a company is wound up they generally have a right to participate in any surplus funds beyond the fixed amount which they originally invested in their shares.
  • Preference shares - Preference shares carry preferential rights, most commonly as to dividend or capital. A share which is preferred as to dividend usually entitles the member to be paid his dividend in priority to the ordinary shareholders. Preference shareholders' entitlements to dividends are generally expressed as a right to a percentage per annum of the nominal amount of the share.
  • Redeemable shares - Redeemable shares are shares which the company is entitled to redeem from its members. Where shares are redeemed the company generally cancels them. However, a treasury share is a share which is retained on redemption by the company and can subsequently be re-issued.
  • Bonus shares - Bonus shares are shares issued to the shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. These shares are issued as having been fully paid up so the shareholders are not required to pay for them. They are usually paid from accumulated profits that have been transferred to capital.
