Equity shareholders are the very foundation of an enterprise.
- They are the only ones who enjoy voting rights in a company.
- They get paid a dividend based on the company's profit for the year and they may or may not get a dividend in case of a loss.
- In case of excess profits, they are given the top priority for all the residual profits after all other claims have been settled.
- Thus they are also referred to as "Priority Claimants" or "Residual owners".
