Supermajority Voting is a voting requirement that sets a higher-than-simple-majority threshold (e.g., 66 2/3% or 75%) to approve certain actions, providing additional protection to minority holders or specific classes. In VC and M&A governance, Supermajority Voting is used for major decisions like selling the company or amending key charter provisions, and Supermajority Voting thresholds can materially affect control dynamics and deal certainty.
