I'd definitely second this as something that needs thinking about

Differing size certs is an issue that rails is going to have with it's
display as it only denotes share allowance and who is the president.
This is fine for usually 20% P share and 8*10% shares but 1835 does
get confusing as it's easy to forget who has which niggly little 5%
share floating around.  I'm not sure a tooltip is the easiest answer -
something that can be displayed clearer in the UI might be better but
I'm unsure how to achieve that.  Perhaps a small number in parenthesis
next to the share count that states the cert count for that
corporation? Then a tooltip could give you an exact breakdown of that
share distribution perhaps?
