Differential-vote equity: issuance requires articles authorisation, shareholder approval, eligibility checks and detailed disclosure obligations. Rule 4 permits issuance of equity shares with differential rights only where the articles authorise it and shareholders approve the issue, subject to conditions including voting-power limits, no recent defaults in filings or payments, absence of penalisation under specified financial-sector statutes, and other eligibility safeguards. The explanatory statement must set out the number and nature of differential rights, post-issue shareholding and voting proportions, pricing and allocation details, impact on control and diluted EPS. Conversion between ordinary voting equity and differential-vote equity is prohibited, directors must disclose specified particulars in the Board's Report, and the Register of Members must record relevant particulars.
