NAV financial
"reported a NAV per share of $11.3116 and the Acquiring Fund reported a NAV"
Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.
conversion ratio financial
"The conversion ratio for the Target Fund's common shares was 1.87521869."
The conversion ratio is the number of common shares an investor receives when a convertible security (like a bond or preferred share) or an exchangeable instrument is turned into ordinary stock. It matters because it tells investors how much ownership or dilution will occur — similar to knowing how many slices you get when you trade in a coupon — and directly affects the value you get from the convertible and the company’s future share count.
fractional shares financial
"less the costs of the Reorganization (although cash was distributed for any fractional shares)."
Fractional shares are portions of a whole share of a stock or fund, allowing investors to own less than one full unit. They make it possible to invest a specific dollar amount rather than buy whole shares, like buying a slice of a pizza instead of the entire pie. For investors this lowers the cost barrier, helps with diversification, and lets you reinvest dividends or purchase expensive stocks in small, precise amounts.
