IX. Yangchou lnc.'s (YI) Articles of Incorporation (AOI) provides for two (2) types of shares of stock: common and preferred shares. Its AOI further provides that "the preferred shares shall have a guaranteed annual dividend of 3% of the par value." Its By-Laws also specifically provides that "preferred shareholdings shall be cumulative and participating." No other terms of preference are provided for preferred shares in either the AOI or By-Laws of YI. For the first five years of operations, the company was operating at a loss. At the end of the sixth year, YI realized a net profit of PhP 100 million, and unrestricted retained earnings of PhP 30 million.
