5 terms
9.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock financial
"purchased 100,000 shares of the Issuer's 9.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 / share"
underwritten public offering financial
"purchased 100,000 shares ... at $25.00 / share in an underwritten public offering"
An underwritten public offering is when a company sells new shares of its stock to the public with the help of a financial firm, called an underwriter. The underwriter agrees to buy all the shares upfront, reducing the company's risk, and then sells them to investors. This process helps companies raise money quickly and confidently from a wide range of buyers.
beneficially own regulatory
"may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by CFI and CF Real Estate"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
pecuniary interest regulatory
"disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities held by CFI in excess of his pecuniary interest if any"
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulatory
"for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended"
A provision of federal securities law that requires company insiders—directors, officers and large shareholders—to publicly report their stock holdings and trades and to surrender any “short-swing” profits from purchases and sales within a six-month window. It acts like a rule that forces leaders to announce their trades and prevents quick buy-sell windfalls, giving investors transparency into insider activity and reducing opportunities for unfair gain.
