Advice to Preference Shareholder of a Company Regarding Entitlement of Surplus Assets
Question
Boran Ltd (Boran) is an unlisted public company. Its share capital consists of 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares issued at a price of $1.00 per share and 250,000 fully paid (non-redeemable) preference shares issued at a price of $2.00 each.
The preference shares carry the following rights:
- a right to a fixed cumulative dividend of 10%;
- a right to share equally with ordinary shareholders in any distribution of surplus assets (after return of capital) on winding up; and
- a right to exercise one vote per share, but only in relation to a proposal for a reduction of capital or a proposal affecting rights attached to the preference shares.
These rights were set out in a special resolution passed by the company before the issue of the preference shares. Tina and Cyril hold between them 80% of the ordinary shares and 78% of the preference shares and control the composition of Boran's board. Mary holds the other 12% of the preference shares and 1,000 ordinary shares. Tina and Cyril think it unfair that preference shareholders are entitled to share surplus assets equally with ordinary shareholders on a winding up, particularly in the light of the high dividend payments the preference shareholders have received over many years.
They have no immediate intention of winding up Boran, but may wish do so within the next few years. Mary strongly objects to any proposals that might affect her rights as a preference shareholder.
Required:
Please provide advice
Advise Mary whether she can take any action to prevent either or both of these proposals going ahead.
Summary
This question belongs to business and corporate law and discusses about advice to preference shareholder of a company regarding entitlement of surplus assets.

I ordered my zoology assignments to these guys. First I was reluctant to pay them. However after the initial payment, they provided me a draft of work. I was indeed amazed with the work quality and I ordered for the rest.

I was at a complete loss with the heavy course load and really desperately needed help with writing my Constitutional Law assignment essays. The constitutional law assignment experts at HwA are very professional and precise in their approach to dealing with the assignment topics. The research material and assignment content were 100% original and there was no hint of plagiarism.

I found it very difficult in keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class and also had problems with the topics like probability, displaying data etc. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and all my misery has come to an end. The stats experts here helped me out with all my assignments and since then I have been getting better grades. Thanks a lot….

When I chose the thesis topic for my economics professor I wanted it to be specific to the economic conditions prevailing in Australia and not just a generic essay. When I contacted HwA and told them of my specific requirement they teamed me up with an economics thesis writing expert who is actually teaching in New South Wales himself. Needless to say that the whole process from the very get go was smooth and excellent.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
