Class A Share
In finance, a class A share refers to a share classification of common or preferred stock that typically has enhanced benefits with respect to dividends, asset sales, or voting rights compared to Class B or Class C shares. There may be restrictions on any specific issue of class A shares in exchange for the benefits; for example, preferences with regard to dividends may be traded for ''reduced'' voting rights. They are often convertible into class B (may not be publicly traded) shares at a favorable rate. For example, a company might allocate class A shares to its management giving them 7 times face value of class B shares, while class B shares have the same voting right as class A shares.

In some cases this is to give company insiders a greater degree of power over the company and to provide a better defense against events like hostile takeover attempts. ''Class A share'' is also a way of pricing sales charges (loads) on mutual fund ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Requirements Each stock exchange has its own listing requirements or rules. Initial listing requirements usually include supplying a history of a few years of financial statements (not required for "alternative" markets targeting young firms); a sufficient size of the amount being placed among the general public (the free float), both in ...
