Companies can issue various classes of shares, including:

  • Ordinary Shares: These are standard shares with voting rights and potential dividends.

  • Preference Shares: These shares typically provide fixed dividends and have priority over ordinary shares in dividend payments and asset distribution upon liquidation.

  • Redeemable Shares: Shares that the company can buy back at a future date under specific conditions.

The specific rights attached to each share class should be detailed in the company’s articles of association.
