voting trust：股权信托，指公司股东将其投票选举权转让给受托人行使的信托协议。即公司的一股东与受托人签订信托协议，或者由不同股东分别与共同受托人签订的一组内容一致的信托协议，规定在一定的年限内，或者在某一意外事件发生之前，或在信托协议的有效期内，股东对股票的控制权授予受托人，而不必再征询股东或其指定人的同意；股东保留对股票、红利和收益的所有权。

为了更好的理解该词，以下是其英文释义：A voting trust is an arrangement whereby the shares in a company of one or more shareholders and the voting rights attached thereto are legally transferred to a trustee, usually for a specified period of time (the “trust period”). In some voting trusts, the trustee may also be granted additional powers (such as to sell or redeem the shares). At the end of the trust period, the shares would ordinarily be re-transferred to the beneficiary(ies), although in practice many voting trusts contain provisions for them to re-vested on the voting trusts with identical terms.
