record date financial
"the next quarterly installment will be paid on May 21, 2026 to all shareholders of record on May 7, 2026"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
NAND flash controllers technical
"a global leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers for solid state storage devices"
NAND flash controllers are the small chips that manage how data is written to, read from, and maintained on NAND flash memory chips used in solid-state drives, phones, and other storage devices. Think of them as traffic managers and caretakers for digital storage: they control speed, reliability, and lifespan, so their quality directly affects product performance, warranty costs, and competitiveness—factors that influence sales, margins, and long-term value for investors.
depository bank’s DR Books financial
"Our depository bank’s DR Books will be closed for issuance and cancellation on May 7, 2026"
