Answer:

3,125,501

Explanation:

No of directors seat desired = 5

Total number of voting share = 2,500,000 shares

Total number of directors to be elected = 3

We are using the cumulative voting approach to calculate how many voting shares would be needed to elect 3 directors:

Voting shares needed = [(Number of Directors desired * Total number of voting shares) / (Total number of directors to be elected + 1 )] + 1

Voting shares needed = [(5*2,500,000) / (3 + 1)] + 1

Voting shares needed = [12,500,000 / 4] + 1

Voting shares needed = 3,125,000 + 1

Voting shares needed = 3,125,001

So, the number of voting shares needed to elect 3 directors is 3,125,501.
