Key Terms

non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, fixed rate reset, depositary shares

3 terms

non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock financial

"5.625% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A"

Non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock is a type of investment that pays a fixed dividend forever, without a set end date. If the company skips some dividends in a year, you don’t get that money later, and it’s gone forever. It matters because investors get regular income but may miss out if the company faces financial trouble.

fixed rate reset financial

"8.250% Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B"

A fixed rate reset is a feature in some bonds or preferred shares where the interest or dividend rate is periodically recalculated and then fixed for the next term according to a pre-set reference (for example, a market rate) plus a set extra amount. It matters to investors because it changes the security’s future income and interest-rate sensitivity—like a thermostat that is reprogrammed at intervals so your heating cost adjusts in steps to current conditions rather than staying completely fixed or constantly changing.

depositary shares financial

"Each outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock is represented by depositary shares"

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.
