Equity Shareholders are regarded as the true owners of the company since they have voting rights, although preference shareholders do not have voting rights on all resolutions under normal circumstances. However, if a dividend on preference shares has not been paid for two years or longer, that class of preference shareholders has the right to vote on all resolutions put before the company. Preference shareholders are given first preference in dividend payments and repayment in the event of a liquidation. The dividend rate on equity shares varies year to year since it is determined by the amount of earnings available to the company. Preference Shares, on the other hand, pay a predetermined rate or a fixed amount as dividend.
