Fixed Rate Reset financial
"4.250% Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A"
A fixed rate reset is a feature in some bonds or preferred shares where the interest or dividend rate is periodically recalculated and then fixed for the next term according to a pre-set reference (for example, a market rate) plus a set extra amount. It matters to investors because it changes the security’s future income and interest-rate sensitivity—like a thermostat that is reprogrammed at intervals so your heating cost adjusts in steps to current conditions rather than staying completely fixed or constantly changing.
Non-Cumulative financial
"4.250% Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A"
Non-cumulative describes a type of dividend or payment right where any missed distributions are not tracked or owed later; if a company skips a payment, investors do not receive that skipped amount in the future. Think of it like a one-time coupon that expires if not used: it can boost potential income when paid, but offers no catch-up protection, so investors face greater income uncertainty and should price in higher risk or lower yield expectations.
Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"4.250% Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A"
A perpetual preferred stock is a type of share that behaves like a forever-lasting, fixed-income investment: it pays regular dividends and has no set maturity date, yet it represents ownership rather than a loan. It ranks ahead of common stock for dividend payments and in liquidation, so investors treat it as a mix between a bond and an equity stake; its value depends largely on the issuer’s credit and prevailing interest rates.
depositary share financial
"Depositary Shares, Each Representing a 1/400 th 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.
record date financial
"to shareholders of record as of August 13, 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.
