This "preference as to assets" clause is found in most preferred share issues. Since the preferred shareholder has given up any claim on earnings beyond the agreed-upon dividend, it is logical that his position as a "limited shareholder" be buttressed by this prior claim on assets.

CONT

Cette clause des «droits de priorité sur l'actif» se rencontre dans la plupart des émissions d'actions privilégiées. Puisque l'actionnaire privilégié a renoncé à son droit de participation aux bénéfices au-delà du dividende fixé, il est logique que sa situation, en tant qu'actionnaire «limité», soit renforcée par un droit prioritaire sur l'actif.
