Cumulative prefrence shrares can not be converted into equity shares

only Convertible prefrence shares can be converted into Equity shares.

However, If you will tell me the no. of prefrence share holder and type of company, then I have a way to your problem.

If you need further clarification than contact me

sir,

Actually the Co. has entered into the Share purchase agreement with ABC pvt. ltd and acquired Optionally convertible cumulative pref shares in 2001.The Co. has not opted for conversion in 2003 to equity.Also the dividend remain unpaid due to non declaration of profits. now the co. just wants to know the rights of pref. shareholders in this case. Articles of ABC also does not contain any rights for pref. shares.

What course of action can the Co. take in this regards?

Kindly comment

By virtue of provisions u/s 87, cumulative Pref. Shareholders are entitled to vote on any resolution placed before the company at any meeting due to unpaid dividend .

Is there any fix percentage of voting right needs to vote for resolution?
