Anthropic is preparing a class of super-voting shares for CEO Dario Amodei and
other co-founders to shield the founding team from external shareholder
pressure, The Information reports. The move would be the company's first use of
enhanced voting rights; founders' relatively low equity stakes are cited as the
rationale. Anthropic also plans to retain its non-shareholder trustee framework
and use the special share class to elect a majority of the board, further
limiting outside shareholders' influence on governance.
