Analysis · LGHL · Crypto Assets
Shareholders approved a tenfold increase in Class B voting rights — from 10,000 to 100,000 votes per share — consolidating control in the hands of Class B holders. They also greenlit a capital reduction that slashes par value to $0.0000001, creating a distributable reserve to offset accumulated losses. Against a backdrop of a going-concern warning and a recent reverse split, these moves strengthen insider control and clean up the balance sheet, but the extreme voting power concentration raises governance red flags for minority Class A holders.
