Preemptive Right
A privilege extended to select shareholders of a corporation that will give them the
right to purchase additional shares in the company before the general public has the
opportunity in the event there is a seasoned offering. A preemptive right is written
in the contract between the purchaser and the company, but does not function like a
put option.
Types of stock
Common stock is an investment security which represents ownership in a
company. You may hear a friend or relative state they own stock (commonly
referred to as shares) of a particular company. They are referring to common stock.
If your friend or relative owns a few shares of that company, they are therefore an
owner of the company.
Founders Stock Refers to Common Stock Issued to Founders with Certain
Characteristics; Namely, Founders Stock is Normally Issued at Par Value with a
Vesting Schedule.
Tracking stock are specialized equity offerings issued by a company that is based
on the operations of a wholly owned subsidiary of a diversified firm. Therefore, the
tracking stock will be traded at a price related to the operations of the specific
division of the company being "tracked". Tracking stock typically has limited or no
voting rights.[1] Often, the reason for doing so is to separate a high-growth division
from a larger parent company. The parent company and its shareholders remain in
control of the subsidiary's or unit's operations.
