Ordinary share的意思

"Ordinary share" or "common share" refers to a type of equity investment in a company. It is the most basic form of share that gives the holder partial ownership of the company. Common shareholders have the right to vote in the company's general meetings, to receive dividends if declared by the board of directors, and to share in the proceeds if the company is liquidated after paying off creditors.

The term "ordinary share" is used in the context of British English, while "common share" is more commonly used in American English. Both terms refer to the same type of equity investment.
