Key Terms

record date, articles of incorporation, independent registered public accounting firm

3 terms

record date financial

"The record date for determining shareholders entitled to participate..."

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

articles of incorporation regulatory

"to approve the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation..."

A formal legal document filed with a government authority that creates a corporation and sets its basic rules — for example the company name, business purpose, how many ownership shares can exist, and who can receive legal notices. It matters to investors because it defines ownership structure, voting rights, and limits on liability, shaping who controls the company and how future shares or dividends can affect an investor’s stake; think of it as the company’s birth certificate and rulebook.

independent registered public accounting firm financial

"ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A., as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm..."

An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
