=Corporation shares=

(~~SECTION TO BE COMPLETED~~)

When a corporation is first created, it has 1000 shares, which are put into the corporation wallet. These shares can be given to people in the corporation by the CEO or directors of the corporation. Shares are linked to voting rights, so when you first create a corporation it is sensible to transfer all the shares you yourself, to avoid the possibility of mutiny later on.

To view shares owned by the corporation (if you are a CEO or Director), open your [[File:Wallet.png|30px]] {{co|yellow|Wallet}}, select the {{co|cyan|Corporation Wallet}} tab at the top, followed by the {{co|cyan|Shares}} and {{co|cyan|Owned by Corp}} tabs. To view shares owned by yourself, select the {{co|cyan|My Wallet}} tab at the top, followed by the {{co|cyan|Shares}} tab.

You can give shares away by right clicking the shares in the list and selecting {{co|cyan|Give}}. You will be asked who to transfer the shares to and how many shares should be transferred.

==Corporation votes==

A person who has shares in a corporation can use them to propose a vote among the shareholders. To propose a new vote, right click the shares in your wallet and select {{co|cyan|Votes}}. You will be able to see tabs for {{co|cyan|Open Votes}} and {{co|cyan|Closed Votes}}. At the bottom of the window is a button to {{co|cyan|Propose Vote}}. You can propose a vote on the following things:

* {{co|lightgreen|Run for CEO:}} To propose this vote you must not be the CEO already, and you must have at least 5% of the shares in the corporation. If the vote is successful, the CEO will lose their roles and the person proposing the vote will be named as CEO in their place.

* {{co|lightgreen|Create Shares:}} This allows the corporation to create a fixed number of additional shares, which will be put into the corporation wallet. {{co|red|If this vote is successful, it still needs to be signed off by the CEO.}}

* {{co|lightgreen|Expel Member:}} This is not needed for most members, as they can be removed in [[Managing_corporation_members#Removing_members|the normal way]]. However, members who own a large number of shares in the corporation cannot be removed this way, and a vote is needed to expel them. {{co|red|If this vote is successful, it still needs to be signed off by the CEO.}}

* {{co|lightgreen|General Vote:}} This allows you to set the question and the options to be voted on. It has no direct impact in game like the other votes.

* {{co|lightgreen|Lock Blueprint:}} If the corporation owns original blueprints, these can be "locked down" in the corporation hangar, meaning they cannot be removed unless a vote is passed to unlock them. This allows them to be used by members for industry without the risk of them being moved or stolen.

* {{co|lightgreen|Unlock Blueprint:}} This allows a particular blueprint to be unlocked so it can be moved. {{co|red|If this vote is successful, it still needs to be signed off by the CEO.}}<br />

When proposing a vote, you need to select how long it will run for.

{{Color box | border=red | {{co|red|Note:}} Once a vote is proposed, a notification will be sent to the whole corporation (not just shareholders). This can be an issue if, for example, a large amount of blueprints are being locked or unlocked.}}<br />

To vote, members who have shares should go to the {{co|yellow|Corporation}} window, {{co|cyan|Politics}} tab and the {{co|cyan|Votes}} tab. There will be a list of open votes and they will be able to vote on their preferred option. Each individual share counts as one vote, and a vote will pass if it has support from over 50% of the vote. So if one member has over 50% of the shares, they can swing the vote.

Once the timescale set for the vote expires, the results will appear in the {{co|cyan|Closed Votes}} tab. If the vote was on one of the items that requires sign off by the CEO, the CEO can then do this under the {{co|cyan|Sanctionable Actions}} tab.
