Depository Shares financial
"Each depository shares represents a 1/40th interest in a share"
Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"6.75% Series A Fixed-Rate 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.
liquidation preference financial
"with a liquidation preference of $1,000 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.
weighted average financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price"
A weighted average is a way of calculating an overall number when some items matter more than others by giving each item a different level of importance, or weight. Investors use weighted averages to combine figures like prices, returns or earnings so the result reflects the size or significance of each part — like grading a class where a final exam counts more than a quiz, producing a score that better represents true performance.
