5 terms

noncumulative perpetual preferred stock financial

"shares of its Series H Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series H Preferred Stock")"

A noncumulative perpetual preferred stock is a type of equity that pays regular dividends indefinitely but has no maturity date, and if the issuer skips a dividend payment those missed payments are not owed later. It sits above common shares in priority for income and liquidation, so it can offer steady income like a bond while still carrying equity risk. Investors should note the permanent nature and the risk that skipped dividends are permanently lost, making yield and issuer stability key considerations.

depositary shares financial

"all of the corresponding depositary shares ("Depositary Shares"), each representing a 1/100th interest"

Depositary shares are tradable certificates that represent a fractional piece of a larger security held by a third-party bank, like owning a slice of a single big pie instead of the whole pie. They let companies issue and investors buy smaller, more affordable portions of preferred stock or other instruments; holders usually receive proportional dividends and market pricing similar to ordinary shares, but may have limited voting rights and different liquidity or tax implications, which can affect income and resale value.

book-entry form technical

"All Depositary Shares are held in book-entry form through DTC and will be redeemed"

A book-entry form is an electronic record showing ownership of securities instead of a paper certificate; think of it like a bank account ledger that notes who owns shares. It matters to investors because it makes buying, selling and transferring securities faster, safer and cheaper by reducing paperwork, loss or forgery risk, and enabling easier settlement through brokers or a central depository.

the depository trust company financial

"in accordance with the applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")"

The Depository Trust Company is a large organization that safely manages and keeps electronic records of ownership for stocks, bonds, and other securities. It acts like a digital warehouse, making it easier and faster for investors to buy, sell, and transfer investments without needing physical paper certificates. This helps ensure transactions are secure, accurate, and completed smoothly.

transfer agent financial

"Computershare Trust Company, N.A., is the transfer agent and registrar for the Series H Preferred Stock"

A transfer agent is a financial service that keeps the official record of who owns a company's shares, handles the buying and selling of those shares on paper or electronically, and issues or cancels stock certificates. Think of it as the company’s records keeper and mailroom combined—investors rely on it to make sure dividends, shareholder mailings, ownership changes, and proxy voting are processed accurately and securely, which protects ownership rights and helps prevent errors or fraud.
