Short description:
The first comprehensive collation of the international history of, and evidence on, dual-class stock, and their relevance to UK policy.
MoreLong description:
Big Tech has flourished on the US public markets in recent years with numerous blue-chip IPOs, from Google and Facebook, to new kids on the block such as Snap, Zoom, and Airbnb. A key trend is the burgeoning use of dual-class stock. Dual-class stock enables founders to divest of equity and generate finance for growth through an IPO, without losing the control they desire to pursue their long-term, market-disrupting visions. Bobby Reddy scrutinises the global history of dual-class stock, evaluates the conceptual and empirical evidence on dual-class stock, and assesses the approach of the London Stock Exchange and ongoing UK regulatory reforms to dual-class stock. A policy roadmap is presented that optimally supports the adoption of dual-class stock while still protecting against its potential abuses, which will more effectively attract high-growth, innovative companies to the UK equity markets, boost the economy, and unleash the true potential of 'founders without limits'.
'Founders Without Limits is likely to be the definitive work on dual class shares for a generation. It is a superb contribution, written with clarity and wit, which is directly relevant for all public stock markets around the world, at a time when dual class structures are firmly in the policy spotlight.' James Palmer, Partner, Corporate Lawyer and former Chair, Herbert Smith Freehills
