Practical Information
Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982
A method devised for concentrating the control of a company in the hands of a few people. A voting trust is usually organized and operated under a voting trust agreement. This is a contract between the stockholders and those who manage the corporation, called the voting trustees. The stockholders transfer their stock to the trustees, giving them the right to vote the stock during the life of the agreement. The trustees in turn issue certificates of beneficial interest, called voting trust certificates, to the stockholders, who are entitled to the dividends. All stockholders may become parties to the agreement, which is generally subject to statutory regulation. The trust is usually for a definite period. When it is terminated, the certificate holders are notified to exchange their trust certificates of stock.
