Controlling interest
A controlling interest is having a big interest or ownership in a company or corporation. It usually includes enough voting power. Having the majority of voting shares (usually over 50%) means having a controlling interest.[1]
A 2019 study published in the Virginia Law Review said dual-class stock structures, common to newly public technology companies, creates governance risks and costs. Including the potential loss of economic value for non-voting shares held by public investors.[2][3]
