Shareholders CANNOT ask for more dividends, but CAN ask for less dividends. Preference shares: holders of these shares get an agreed percentage rate of dividends before ordinary shareholders receive anything. Ordinary shares: holders of these shares receive the remainder of the total profits available for dividends. Non-cumulative preference shares. These holders can receive a dividend up to an agreed amount, anything less is accepted as a loss. They can not carry the difference forward to the next year. Cumulative preference shares. These holders can receive a dividend up to an agreed amount, anything less is carried forward to the next year. They will receive their total payment due to them before any ordinary shares are paid.
