Holders of ordinary shares have voting right whilst those of preference shares have no voting rights.

4. Cumulative preference shares and participating preference shares

Cumulative preference shares are shares whose owners are entitled to payment of unpaid dividend during future years when profit is made while participating preference shares are shares whose holders are entitled to extra dividend if a certain level of profit is attained.

5. Cum div and ex div

            If a person buys shares cum div, it means that the dividend that is about to be paid will be his ;     on the other hand , if a person buys shares ex-div , it means that the dividend that is to be paid           will not be paid to him but to the previous owner.
