QUESTION: 46

If there are five directors to be elected, and 500 shares are outstanding and voting for the election of directors, the minimum number of shares necessary to elect one director would be
84 shares. Proof: 84 shares time five directors to be elected equals 420 votes, all cast for one director. Assuming the rest of the stock (416 shares) votes en bloc as the majority, such total of 2, 080 votes distributed among five directors would be 416 votes each. Therefore, individual representing the minority and receiving its 420votes is sure to get one of the places on the board, the majority getting the other four places. The minority in this example must be sure to vote all of its 420 votes for one director; if it distributed the 420 votes among two, it obviously would not win any places on the board. Cumulative voting, move over, requires a majority of the stock to be able to elect a majority of the board. In the above example, five directors, shares are necessary, or a majority of the shares total.

200, 400
150, 300
