Key terms
- Share repurchase program:
- An authorization that lets a company buy back its own shares in the market or in private deals, reducing the number of shares outstanding.
- Non-Cumulative Preferred Shares:
- Preferred shares whose dividends do not build up if unpaid in a given period, so a missed dividend is not owed later.
- Depositary shares:
- Units that each represent a fractional interest, here 1/1,000th, in a single preferred share, making the preferred stock easier to trade in smaller amounts.
- Liquidation preference:
- The amount preferred holders are entitled to receive before common shareholders if the company is wound up, here $25,000 per preferred share.
