A:
Yes, you can create a class of stock in a Wyoming C corporation that has super preferred voting rights. This would fall under the category of customized stock classes, which allow corporations to allocate different voting powers to different types of shares. The corporation’s bylaws or articles of incorporation must clearly outline these specific rights, such as how many votes each share has.
Wyoming law generally provides flexibility for structuring stock classes, but it's essential to ensure that the voting rights you assign comply with both corporate governance rules and any applicable regulations. Depending on the rights granted, there may be tax implications or considerations around shareholder agreements.
To move forward, it’s advisable to review the legal framework and make sure your articles of incorporation reflect the desired structure accurately. Additionally, think about how these shares will affect shareholder relationships and decision-making in the corporation.
