What is a "principal stockholder" of a corporation?

  1. A shareholder with more than 50% equity

  2. A person who manages company operations

  3. A person who beneficially owns, holds, or has the power to vote, 10% or more of any class of securities issued by the corporation

  4. The CEO of the corporation

The correct answer is: A shareholder with more than 50% equity

A "principal stockholder" of a corporation refers to a shareholder who owns more than 50% of the company's equity. This means they have the majority ownership and control of the company's stock. Option B is incorrect because a principal stockholder does not necessarily manage company operations, they only have a significant ownership stake. Option C is incorrect because it refers to a person who has more than 10% ownership, but not necessarily the majority stake. Option D is also incorrect because the CEO may or may not be a principal stockholder, as it depends on their ownership stake in the company.
