Contra Costa California Proposed Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Authorize Preferred Stock Contra Costa County, located in California, has proposed an amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation to authorize the issuance of preferred stock. This move intends to provide an additional financing option for businesses in the county and attract more investment opportunities. Preferred stock is a type of equity ownership that holds certain advantages and preferences over common stock. By authorizing the issuance of preferred stock, Contra Costa California aims to offer companies more flexibility in raising capital while catering to the specific needs and preferences of different investors. The proposed amendment will allow companies in Contra Costa County to issue various types of preferred stock offerings. These offerings may include but are not limited to: 1. Cumulative Preferred Stock: This type of preferred stock grants shareholders the right to accumulate unpaid dividends if the company suspends or reduces dividend payments. Once the company resumes paying dividends, accumulated dividends must be paid before any dividends are distributed to common stockholders. 2. Convertible Preferred Stock: Convertible preferred stock gives shareholders the option to convert their preferred shares into a predetermined number of common shares at a specified conversion ratio. This allows investors to benefit from potential future appreciation in the company's common stock. 3. Participating Preferred Stock: With participating preferred stock, shareholders have the right to receive additional dividends beyond their fixed dividend rate if the company distributes dividends to common stockholders. This type of preferred stock enables investors to share in the company's success alongside common stockholders. 4. Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock: Non-cumulative preferred stock does not accumulate unpaid dividends. If the company fails to pay dividends for a specific period, preferred shareholders will not have the right to claim those unpaid dividends in the future. The proposed amendment offers a range of preferred stock options to meet the diverse requirements and preferences of investors. By granting companies the ability to issue preferred stock, Contra Costa County aims to enhance businesses' access to capital and stimulate economic growth within the region.
