Key Terms
form 10regulatory
Form 10 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing companies use to register their securities and become subject to public reporting requirements, delivering a comprehensive package of business descriptions, audited financial statements, management information and risk factors. For investors it matters because it creates a standardized, permanent dossier on a company—like a full inspection and disclosure packet when buying a house—so you can assess finances, risks and management and compare firms reliably.
rule 144aregulatory
Rule 144A is a regulation that makes it easier for companies to sell private bonds to large investors without going through all the usual rules that apply to public sales. It matters because it helps companies raise money more quickly and privately, often attracting big investors looking for special deals.
regulation sregulatory
Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.
less-than-truckloadtechnical
Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a freight shipping method where multiple customers share space on the same truck because each shipment is too small to fill a full truck. Like taking a shared taxi instead of hiring a car for just yourself, LTL can lower shipping costs and improve flexibility but adds handling steps and transit stops, so it matters to investors because it affects companies’ delivery speed, logistics costs, inventory timing and overall profit margins.
revolving credit facilityfinancial
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
delayed draw term loan facilityfinancial
A delayed draw term loan facility is a committed loan that a borrower can tap in one or more installments at specified future times after meeting agreed conditions, rather than receiving the full amount upfront. For investors it matters because it provides a ready source of cash that can change a company’s financial strength, leverage and interest costs when drawn—similar to having a reserved credit line you can use later, which affects liquidity and the risk profile of the business.
performance stock units (psus)financial
Performance stock units (PSUs) are a form of executive or employee pay that promise company shares only if pre-set performance goals are met over a defined period; think of them as a bonus paid in stock that arrives only when the company hits agreed targets. Investors watch PSUs because they affect the number of shares outstanding (dilution) and reveal how management’s pay is tied to financial or operational results, aligning incentives with shareholder outcomes.
