You work for a small firm in Sarasota that advises individual clients on a variety of tax, family law, real estate, and investment matters. One of your long-time clients, Lynn Tifton, asks for your guidance on the following: Five of Ms. Tifton's associates recently organized their real estate investment enterprise as a Florida corporation, which they named Sterling Property Holdings, Inc. ("Sterling"). The five associates have invited Ms. Tifton to "buy in." There are currently 7,000 outstanding shares, and the associates are offering Ms. Tifton 1,000 new shares for $400 per share (or $2.5 million total). If Ms. Tifton accepts the offer, there will be 8,000 total outstanding shares. There are 7 seats on Sterling's board. If Ms. Tifton purchases the 1,000 shares Sterling offered, how many seats can she elect to the board?
