Key Terms

3 terms
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock financial
"5.700% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D"
Preferred stock that pays a fixed dividend but does not require the company to make up missed payments later; if a dividend is skipped, shareholders lose that income permanently rather than accumulating a balance the company must repay. Investors care because this structure offers higher priority than common shares for payouts but less protection for dividend income, so it’s a trade-off between steady yield and the risk of permanent missed payments.
holders of record financial
"holders of record of Farmer Mac’s Common Stock as of December 15, 2026"
Names listed on a company’s official register at a specific cut-off date who are legally entitled to receive dividends, vote on corporate matters, or participate in other shareholder actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: only those on the list at the snapshot time get the invitation or benefits, so investors watch the record date to know whether they will receive payouts or voting rights for a given corporate action.
liquidation preference financial
"par value and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share"
A liquidation preference is a rule that determines who gets paid first and how much they receive when a company is sold, goes bankrupt, or distributes its assets. It gives certain investors a priority claim—often returning their original investment plus any agreed multiple—before other owners receive money, which shapes how much common shareholders and founders ultimately get; think of it as a front-of-the-line pass that affects payout order and investor returns.
