guarantee share


Explanation:
Formation
If not already designated in the Articles of Incorporation, the directors and auditors are elected during the first general shareholders’ meeting. A majority of board members must be Lebanese citizens. They are chosen from those shareholders who hold a ‘guarantee share,’ the exact size of which is stipulated in the Articles. Though a director can hold more than the laid-down guarantee share, s/he must quit the board if the holding goes below the guarantee level

preferred share


Explanation:
I would think that this is the implication as preferred shares carry less risk than common shares, as they are guaranteed priority in distribution of dividends. See link below
