5 terms

Depositary Shares financial

"Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share"

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.

Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock financial

"8.25% Fixed-Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock"

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.

record as of financial

"to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2026"

"Record as of" indicates the specific date or point in time when a particular financial figure or statistic was measured or confirmed. It helps investors understand the exact moment when the data was valid, similar to taking a snapshot of a situation. This clarity is important for making accurate comparisons and informed decisions based on the most current or relevant information.

cash dividend financial

"declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per depositary share"

A cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders directly in money, usually on a regular schedule. It is a way for investors to receive a portion of the company's profits, similar to earning interest or a bonus for holding the company's stock. Cash dividends provide income to shareholders and can indicate the company's financial health and stability.

trading symbol financial

"Trading Symbol(s) | Name of each exchange on which registered"

A trading symbol is the short, unique code used to identify a publicly listed security on an exchange — like a stock’s nickname or license plate. Investors use it to look up real-time prices, place buy or sell orders, and track company news across trading platforms; without it, finding the correct security among many with similar names would be slow and error-prone. Knowing the right symbol ensures trades and information refer to the exact asset intended.
