actual voting rightsregulatory
"Number of actual voting rights*"
Actual voting rights are the real, usable power an investor has to vote on corporate matters, after accounting for share class limits, proxy arrangements, or legal restrictions. Like having a household key that actually opens the door, these rights determine whether an investor can influence board elections, mergers, or policy changes, so they directly affect control and the value of an investment.
theoretical voting rightsregulatory
"Number of theoretical voting rights**"
Theoretical voting rights are the share of control an investor would have if all possible sources of additional shares—such as stock options, warrants and convertible bonds—were turned into ordinary shares. Investors care because this “what-if” number shows potential dilution of current owners and the maximum voting power others could gain, helping assess control risk and how future actions might change company decisions, like a snapshot of ownership if every coupon were cashed in.
treasury sharesfinancial
"treasury shares which do not have voting rights"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
double voting rightsregulatory
"registered shares held for more than two years, which have double voting rights"
Shares with double voting rights give their holders two votes per share on corporate matters instead of the usual one, concentrating control in the hands of certain shareholders. For investors this matters because it affects who ultimately makes decisions—like board appointments and mergers—so a small group can steer the company even if they own a minority of economic value; think of it as some neighbors having two house keys that let them decide communal rules.
