Ownership percentage versus voting control

Economic ownership and voting influence are not always the same. Different share classes can carry different voting, dividend, conversion, or liquidation rights. Board appointment rights, voting agreements, quorum rules, and veto provisions can also affect control. Ask for a capitalization table and a decision-by-decision explanation rather than relying on one percentage.
