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 August 17, 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.

par value financial

"Common Stock, $0.001 par value"

Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.
