real estate investment trust (reit) financial

"We're an internally managed Maryland real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on developing"

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate like shopping malls, apartments, or office buildings. Investors buy shares of the REIT, making it easy for people to invest in real estate without buying property themselves, and it often pays regular dividends from the rent it collects.

cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares financial

"The Board of Trustees also declared a per share quarterly distribution on the Company's cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares"

A type of hybrid security that behaves like a long-term income instrument: it pays regular dividends that accumulate if skipped (cumulative), has no fixed maturity date (perpetual), and can be bought back by the issuer under specified terms (redeemable). Investors care because it offers steady income with priority over common stock but carries issuer credit risk, interest-rate sensitivity and call risk—think of it as a loan that pays coupons forever unless the issuer chooses to repay it.

forward-looking statements regulatory

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
