Claims of ownership in a corporation primarily manifest through equity shares, which represent ownership stakes in the company. Shareholders, as owners, have rights to vote on corporate matters and receive dividends, proportional to their shareholdings. Additionally, ownership claims can also be reflected in other instruments such as preferred shares or stock options, which may confer different rights and privileges. Ultimately, these claims define the relationship between the corporation and its investors, influencing control and profit distribution.
