Extended data

When the cumulative voting system is implemented, the number of votes of shareholders is calculated according to the product of the number of shares held by shareholders and the number of elected directors or supervisors, rather than directly according to the number of shares held by shareholders. Simply put, the number of votes of shareholders is equal to the number of shares held by shareholders multiplied by the number of elected directors or supervisors.

In the direct voting system, because in the process of electing directors and supervisors of the company, candidates can be elected only by obtaining a simple majority (that is, more than 50%), under the direct voting system, major shareholders can take advantage of the large number of shares to make their candidates more easily elected.
