Non-Denominated Shares
Shares that - instead of giving a fixed money amount - sound to a portion of a firm without specifying its relative or nominal participation in it (piece stock) or with a determined share of the registered capital (share) of the company. Shares may represent a part of the share capital or the share of a company’s total amount of assets.
Tribal Shares
Ordinary shares, which represent the most common issued shares. Shareholders have the right to take part in the profits generated (called “dividend right”), general meetings, and liquidation balance. The contrary to an ordinary share is called a priority share.
Bearer Shares
Also called anonymous shares, they don’t list their owners in any register that’s publicly accessible, nor do they list their names on the stock themselves. Bearer shares are different from book-entry ones because they’re not recorded anywhere. As such, delivering a bearer share can only be done by physically handing it over from person to person.

Priority Shares
These shares give shareholders of ordinary shares the payment of preferential dividends plus a share in the balance for liquidation. Nevertheless, holders of preference shares may see their rights limited by articles of association of a joint stock company; an example of these limits is the impossibility to vote in general meetings.
