Key Terms

record date, annual meeting, proxy statement, beneficial owners, +1 more

5 terms

record date financial

"the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting"

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.

annual meeting financial

"vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting")"

A company's annual meeting is a yearly gathering where owners (shareholders) and the board review performance, ask questions, and vote on key matters like electing directors, approving auditor choices, and sometimes setting pay or dividend policies. For investors it matters because decisions made and votes cast can change who runs the company, influence strategy and payouts, and affect the value or direction of their investment—similar to a homeowners’ meeting where rules and leaders that shape your property’s value are decided.

proxy statement regulatory

"set forth in the proxy statement and other proxy materials for the Annual Meeting"

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.

beneficial owners financial

"beneficial owners who provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date"

Beneficial owners are the people or entities that actually enjoy the economic benefits and control of shares or other assets, even when legal title is held by someone else such as a broker, custodian or trustee. Investors pay attention because beneficial owners hold the real voting power, receive dividends and can influence strategy and takeover outcomes — like the driver of a car who uses and maintains it while the bank holds the title — so disclosure shows who truly controls and benefits.

stockholders of record financial

"Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to stockholders of record and beneficial owners"

Stockholders of record are the people or entities whose names appear on a company's official shareholder list on a specific cutoff date set by the company or its transfer agent; only those listed are entitled to receive dividends, vote at shareholder meetings, or participate in other corporate actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: being on the list on the set day determines who gets the benefits and rights, so investors must own shares before the cutoff to qualify.
