Description

This sample form, a detailed Proposed Amendment to Create a Class of Common Stock That Has 1/20th Vote Per Share document, is a model for use in corporate matters. The language is easily adapted to fit your specific circumstances. Available in several standard formats. The Colorado Proposed Amendment aims to introduce a new class of Common Stock that grants shareholders a reduced voting power compared to the existing stock classes. This amendment seeks to create a tiered system within a corporation's capital structure, where shareholders holding this newly created stock would have 1/20th of a vote per share. The proposed amendment intends to address certain objectives such as increasing flexibility in corporate governance, accommodating various investor preferences, and encouraging a diversified ownership structure. By offering a Common Stock class with reduced voting rights, corporations can attract different types of investors, including those seeking more long-term, passive investment strategies or who wish to align voting power with their economic stake in the company. Several potential types of Colorado Proposed Amendments that could create a class of Common Stock with a 1/20th vote per share include: 1. "Colorado Proposed Amendment — Class C Common Stock": This type of amendment specifically introduces a new class of Common Stock denominated as Class C Common Stock. It outlines the terms, conditions, and voting rights associated with this class, which would include 1/20th of a vote per share. 2. "Colorado Proposed Amendment — Dual-Class Common Stock": This amendment proposes the creation of a dual-class structure within the Common Stock, where one class would have traditional full voting rights while the newly introduced class would be entitled to 1/20th of a vote per share. It aims to grant certain shareholders reduced voting power while preserving the full voting rights for a specific group of shareholders, which is often the case in companies favoring founders, executives, or insiders. 3. "Colorado Proposed Amendment — Restricted Voting Common Stock": This type of amendment suggests establishing a new class of Common Stock called Restricted Voting Common Stock. Shareholders holding this class would have limited voting rights amounting to 1/20th of a vote per share. The restriction could be based on holding period requirements, shareholder status, or any other predetermined criteria. 4. "Colorado Proposed Amendment — Non-Voting Common Stock with Limited Voting Rights": This amendment proposes an alternative approach by creating a class of Non-Voting Common Stock with 1/20th of a vote per share. In this case, shareholders would have limited voting rights but still retain some influence through a reduced voting power. Overall, these Colorado Proposed Amendments seek to incorporate new classes of Common Stock with a 1/20th vote per share, aiming to enhance flexibility, diversify ownership, and accommodate various investor preferences within the corporate governance structure.
