Ordinary Shares - the most common form of
shares. Holders receive dividends which vary in accordance with the
profitability of the company and the recommendations of the
directors. The holders of the ordinary shares are the owners of the
company.
Preference Shares - Shares with a fixed
dividend. The holders of preference shares are entitled to their
dividend before ordinary shareholders and rank above ordinary
shareholders should the company be wound up. Preference shares are
