Remarketable Variable Rate Munifund Term Preferred Shares financial
"The 180 remarketable variable rate munifund term preferred shares reported as disposed of in Table I"
A remarketable variable rate munifund term preferred share is a type of preferred stock issued by a fund that invests in municipal (tax-exempt) debt, which pays a dividend that resets periodically with market rates and has a defined term or maturity. Think of it as an adjustable-rate certificate that can be resold on scheduled “remarketing” dates; it matters to investors because it offers tax-advantaged income with changing yields, but carries interest-rate sensitivity, liquidity risk at remarketing, and credit risk tied to the municipal holdings.
RVMTP Shares financial

liquidation preference financial
"includes a liquidation preference of $100,000.00 per share and accrued dividends of $0.00 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.
redemption price financial
"disposed of as a result of a redemption by the Issuer for a redemption price of $100,000.00 per share"
The redemption price is the amount of money a person receives when they sell or redeem a bond or investment before it matures. It’s important because it determines how much you get back and can affect your overall profit or loss on the investment. Think of it like the price you get when returning a gift card early—it's the value you receive at that time.
beneficially owned financial
"represent ... Shares, Series 2051 ... beneficially owned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
