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

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was really nervous about my college application essay for a university in Sydney but luckily I came across HwA and with the help of their wonderful support team, my application essay was highly appraised. Since then I often take help and assistance for my essay writing projects.
Charlotte Johnson Student
All the curves used to confuse me a lot. I was not getting any direction while all of my classmates were cruising through their Monopoly, Oligopoly market equilibrium assignments. Then my friend Judith introduced me to HwA and then I felt much better after taking their economics homework help. They helped me understand and also get good marks.
Laura Hammersley Student
Finance had me completely lost and I had no idea how I was to do research for the fixed income derivatives assignment. I needed to include examples and references and I had frankly no idea how I was going to do any of it. Thanks to the online finance assignment help expert at HwA I was able to get the assignment ready with all the necessary examples and get the top grades.
Jillian Matthews Student
I was badly stuck while preparing my patient report assignment help and had no clue on how to incorporate all the minute details into the entire perspective. Luckily then only one of my friends suggested that HwA is the best place to get original work done and he was absolutely right. From the moment I contacted them I became certain that these people know the stuff and then they helped me deliver a brilliant patient report fetching me excellent grades in my class. It also taught me on how to write patient reports.
Suzanne Fletcher Student
First impression leaves a very deep mark in somebody’s mind and my research proposal, written by one of the experts of HwA was the first impression which impressed my dissertation advisor in my college of Hamilton. After the research proposal I took further help in the actual research paper and got excellent grades.
