on the profit of the company and also decision to dividend

directors.if they want to retain their profit for the future
investment they can retain. But in preference shares they
pay a fix rate of interest, they don't have share in company
profit. At the time of winding up they gives first
preference to pay the amount.
equity share holders have a voting right to elect in board
of directors but in preference share holders don't have any
such kind of rights
