Rights Of Common Stockholders • Voting rights of common stockholders can be exercised in person or by proxy. • Most US corporations have majority voting. Each share gives one vote for each director’s position. • Cumulative voting gives minority shareholders greater chance of electing one or more directors. Shareholders do not have a legal right to receive dividends.
Preferred Stock Preferred stock is an equity claim, though fixed in amount. • Claim on assets and cash flow senior to common stock • As equity security, dividend payments are not tax deductible for the corporation and are subject to personal income tax. • For tax reasons, straight preferred stock held mostly by corporations. Promises a fixed annual dividend payment, but not legally enforceable; firms cannot pay common stock dividends if preferred stock in arrears. • Preferred stockholders usually do not have voting rights. • Venture capitalists an exception: they have control rights and receive board of directors seats.

Basic Choices In Long-Term Financing Corporations face four key decision variables each year: • How much capital is needed for investment, other purposes? • How much capital to raise externally vs. internally? • Should external funds be raised on capital markets or via financial intermediaries? • Fraction of external capital as debt vs. equity? • Internal financing: cash flow from operations minus cash dividends • Amount not fixed: firm can vary dividends and capital structure Corporations are almost always net dissavers.
