With dual class shares lacking accountability and leading to corruption among founders, founders and investors clashing over dual class or multi class shares, and allowing a sense of corporate loyalty to appear among founders who run companies with dual class shares, I do see a good sense of demand for tenure voting. With increasing calls for banning dual class shares and the scandals at Facebook and Google shining light on the dictatorship held companies by founders, we will see regulators and many retail and institutional investors become aware of dual class shares and either regulate or ban them. So tenure voting is the best way to go!
I think that tenure voting is the next step forward and it is a good way to attract an alignment between investors and founders as well as employees since they get incentivized with more votes for holding a stock long term. We've seen this work really well in France especially with companies like LVMH that investors are patient towards due to this tenure voting incentive.
But like how dual class stock caught on with startups starting with Google and Facebook, can we see the same for tenure voting if there are hot startups in the future with this structure?
Will LTSE allow dual class or multi class share structures or only tenure voting among companies wanting to list on the exchange?
Also will all sorts of companies be able to do this or will LTSE only be open to tech companies?
