Voting of Shares Clause Samples
The 'Voting of Shares' clause defines how voting rights attached to shares in a company are exercised. It typically outlines who is entitled to vote, the manner in which votes are cast (such as in person, by proxy, or electronically), and any special procedures for certain classes of shares. For example, it may specify that only shareholders of record as of a certain date can vote at meetings, or that preferred shares have limited or no voting rights. This clause ensures clarity and fairness in corporate decision-making by establishing clear rules for shareholder participation and preventing disputes over voting entitlements.
