Common Unit financial
"each vested OP Profits Unit may be converted, at the election of the holder, into a common unit of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (a "Common Unit")."
A common unit is a single piece of ownership in a company, fund, or trust—similar to an ordinary share but often used for pooled vehicles or listings where securities are packaged or governed differently. It matters to investors because each unit represents a claim on profits and, commonly, voting power; like holding a seat at a table, the number of units you own affects your share of returns and influence, and unit structures can also affect liquidity and tax treatment.
redemption for cash financial
"Each Common Unit acquired upon conversion of a vested OP Profits Unit may, at the election of the holder, be presented for redemption for cash equal to the then fair market value of a share of Americold Realty Trust, Inc. common stock"
