of which he owns 22%.
This ownership figure is outdated. Zoom’s 2026 proxy says Eric Yuan beneficially owned about 20.9 million equivalent shares, which is roughly 7.1% of outstanding common stock, not 22%.
Full reasoning
Zoom’s latest definitive proxy statement gives the current share counts needed to check this. It says that on March 31, 2026, Eric S. Yuan beneficially owned 74,914 shares of Class A stock and 20,837,285 shares of Class B stock. The same filing says Zoom had 265,368,026 Class A shares and 28,703,589 Class B shares outstanding.
Because the filing also states that each Class B share is convertible into one Class A share on a share-for-share basis, Yuan’s equity stake in common-stock-equivalent terms is 20,912,199 / 294,071,615 ≈ 7.1%, not 22%.
The same table reports Yuan’s 37.7% of total voting power, which may explain how an incorrect percentage was introduced, but the article’s plain statement that he “owns 22%” does not match the company’s current official ownership disclosure.
