Facebook introduces dual-class share structure
25.11.2009
Privately owned social networking site Facebook is reported to have created a dual-class share structure which provides founder Mark Zuckerberg and other shareholders with greater control over the company.
According to Jessica Vascellara of the Wall Street Journal, the company is currently converting all current stock to Class B shares, which have 10 times the voting power of Class A stock. All the stock owned by current shareholders will remain as Class B stock unless sold during an initial public offering (IPO), in which case they will revert to Class A shares.
While the company said it has no plans to go public at the moment, changing the structure is widely seen as a sign that it is considering an IPO.
A number of privately owned companies have introduced a dual-class share structure before going public, including Google.
