Preference shares (أسهم ممتازة) are a class of shares under Omani law that give their holders certain rights or privileges that differ from those attached to ordinary shares (أسهم عادية). These rights may relate to voting, dividends, liquidation proceeds, or other matters. Unlike ordinary shares, which generally carry the standard rights of ownership in a company, the rights attached to preference shares may be tailored to meet the company's needs and are set out in its Articles of Association.
