Each of these two categories has different rights attached to it

The main distintiction between these two types of share is that special shares (or also termed as preference shares) will entitle its holders with priority during the dividend payment which normally be fixed in amount. Preference share holders also will have the priority to claim form the asset in the event of bankruptcy. However, they normally do not have right to vote in the general assembly like the ordinary share holders do.
