My client holds all of the voting A shares of an unquoted close company. His wife has a small holding of non-voting B shares.
The proposal is to give three votes to each A share (instead of one) and two votes to each B share (instead of none). My client will then turn about 5% of his A shares into C shares (with one vote each) and about 20% into D shares, which will have no votes. My client will then control 92% of the voting rights. That would seem to be an alteration within IHTA 1984, s 98(1)(b).
