Public Companies: Shares with Different Voting Rights

Different voting rights in public companies require attention to both constitutional authority and member approval.

Source checked · 11 October 2026 Historical document

What the document covers

The interpretation addresses section 64A approval, including shares whose voting rights differ from ordinary shares. It explains special-resolution and meeting-notice considerations.

Specific requirements and implications

The interpretation includes preference shares where their voting rights differ from ordinary shares. It permits one special resolution to address both an issue mandate and the relevant different-voting-rights approval, subject to the provisions explained. A separate approval for every individual issuance is not invariably required. Meeting notices need describe the relevant classes where shares are issued or outstanding; an unused class in the constitution is treated differently.
