Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock financial

"Series A 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.

depositary share financial

"each representing a 1/40th interest in a share"

A depositary share is a special type of stock that represents ownership in a company but is traded on the stock market like regular shares. It often makes it easier for people to buy and sell shares of companies from other countries or smaller companies that don’t list directly on big exchanges.

shareholders of record financial

"to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2026"

Shareholders of record are the people officially listed as owners of a company's stock on a specific date. This matters because only these shareholders are entitled to receive dividends or vote at company meetings. It's like being on the official guest list for a party—you get to enjoy the perks and have a say.
