However, in cases where there is significant demand for an IPO, or a company definitively outperforming its peers, such structures appear to have less of an impact on share value.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Companies with multiple-class share structures remain relatively rare within the S&amp;P 500, and a 2011 MarketWatch report found that only 6% of the large US firms that comprise the index have multi-class shares with different voting rights \u2013 down from 10% five years prior.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msci.com\/documents\/1296102\/8328554\/Discussion+Paper_Voting+rights.pdf\/d3ba68f1-856a-4e76-85b6-af580c5420d7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MSCI extended a review<\/a> of whether to ban multi-class stocks from its indices and also broadened its investigation to consider a discussion of the treatment of unequal voting structures.<\/p>\n<p>When Snap Inc. sold shares that conveyed no voting rights, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-snap-s-p-idUSKBN1AH2RV?utm_source=applenews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S&amp;P Dow Jones<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-snap-russell\/ftse-russell-to-exclude-snap-from-stock-indexes-over-voting-rights-idUSKBN1AB2TW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FTSE Russell<\/a> responded by saying companies that limited public voting rights would not be welcome on some of their indices. BlackRock argued that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ca3d7012-441a-11e8-93cf-67ac3a6482fd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">policymakers, not index compilers, should set equity investing and corporate governance standards<\/a>, and others joined them in voicing this sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>However, in June 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msci.com\/documents\/1296102\/8328554\/Consultation_Voting+Rights.pdf\/15d99336-9346-4e42-9cd3-a4a03ecff339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MSCI again extended consultation<\/a> on a new \u201cone share, one vote\u201d rule that would penalize companies with dual-class share structures by giving them a less-than-market-cap-proportional index weighting.<\/p>\n<p>If the MSCI\u2019s proposal is approved, affected companies will have three years to modify their voting structures, or risk being excluded from multiple indexes, significantly impacting overall trading volume, share demand, and valuation. These changes are likely to take effect between November 2021 and May 2022.<\/p>\n<h5>Pros &amp; Cons of Multi-Class Share Structures<\/h5>\n<p>Advocates of multi-class share structures with unequal voting rights argue that they allow a company\u2019s management team to make decisions that focus on long-term growth rather than maximizing short-term profits.<\/p>\n<p>However, companies with multi-class share structures are perceived to be less accountable as concentrating voting rights within the hands of the management team often means that individual shareholders have less of a say in how the company is run.<\/p>\n<p>Technology giant Alphabet is probably the best-known example of a multi-class structure; the company has three classes of shares: Class A shares (<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/GOOGL\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GOOGL<\/a>) afford one vote per share, Class B shares afford ten votes per share and are only available to co-founders, and Class C (<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/GOOG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GOOG<\/a>) shares are equity only, and do not allow shareholders to vote.<\/p>\n<p>While Alphabet A shares are more expensive than C shares, they afford shareholders a greater say in how the company is managed, and the company\u2019s unusual structure was created to allow it to invest in experimental, non-core business ventures like Google Glass, Google X, and Google Cars.<\/p>\n<p>While such ventures have large potential payoffs and contribute to the company\u2019s ability to remain competitive over the long term, their quarterly benefits are not always immediately evident, and often come at the expense of simply paying investors a regular dividend.<\/p>\n<p>Unusual corporate structures can reduce a firm\u2019s liquidity by limiting the number of institutional investors who can invest in the company, and open them to attack from activist investors, generating significant negative news flow. As such, companies with multi-class share structures often trade at a discount. (Source: MarketWatch)<\/p>\n<h5>Sunset Clauses<\/h5>\n<p>A report by Deloitte and the Wall Street Journal also noted that while eager investors are more likely to tolerate such arrangements in new companies with charismatic founder CEOs at the time of IPO, the market is then apt to penalize those same companies once the founder has stepped down.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the report recommended including sunset clauses that automatically convert supermajority shares into ordinary shares at a predetermined date or strategic milestone as a means of assuaging investor concerns over the company\u2019s corporate governance.<\/p>\n<h5>Latin American Case Study<\/h5>\n<p>Given the multiple factors that impact share price, it is very difficult to gauge the precise impact of unusual corporate structures on a company\u2019s valuation without nonpublic shareholder-perception evidence. However, InspIR conducted two perception studies in 2013 and 2016 which give us insight into how the market views Latin American companies with unusual share structures.<\/p>\n<p>While the company\u2019s dual-share structure was not unusual for a number of companies in this region, the perception studies nevertheless found that the nonvoting nature of \u201csecond-class\u201d shares left investors feeling uneasy, and ultimately limited the company\u2019s appeal to global, non-Latin American investors.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the initial study, conducted during a period when the company\u2019s performance had declined, found that the combination of the company\u2019s dual-share, an additional uncommon governance structure, price to earnings ratio, and relative valuation meant that investors simply would not touch the stock at all.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important to note that the studies also found that unusual corporate governance structures can be overcome with strong market performance, better communication, and more proactive engagement of constructive sell-side coverage.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the firm in question, while it made some adjustments to corporate governance standards, it ultimately maintained its dual-class structure. In addition, it also made a concerted effort to communicate its corporate strategy more clearly to potential investors.<\/p>\n<p>This combination of reform and better outreach enabled the company to change the market\u2019s perception, and crucially, with the company\u2019s planned acquisitions delivering results, the 2016 study found that the impact of the company\u2019s dual-class structure on its valuation was much less important to investors.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, while over 70% of participants had a negative view of the company\u2019s corporate governance in the 2013 survey, less than 45% of participants in the 2016 survey held a similar view, and while the company\u2019s governance structure was one of the most frequently mentioned weaknesses in the 2013 study, it was not considered to be a meaningful impediment to investment in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>In short, when management is executing in a manner that drives share price valuations higher, few investors are likely to care that there is no way for them to vote shares contrary to the will of management. When things are going well, and few want to vote \u201cNo,\u201d few protest that they can\u2019t vote at all.<\/p>\n<p>But when that same share price underperforms, expect that same lack of \u201cvote with your wallet\u201d ability to rapidly move to the forefront of investor concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-class share structures have been substantially phased out of the US markets and have generally proved to be a net negative for valuation, particularly in bear markets.
