you get a fixed rate of return. e.g. a dividend of 8%, you don't get to vote. Called prefence because you get a higher a preference in getting your money back versus ordinary shares if your company goes bankrupt.

I don't really know what you mean here--do you wish to own shares in a corporation (the source), or buy them through options?  And you want to know which is better?\n\nOr do you want to know what corporations would do?  Since the most likely scenario in a tekover would be through electing a new board of directors, they more than likely would go for the voting common shares.\n\nHope this helps somewhat!\n--J.

Preferred stock will either be quasi-debt (with fixed preferred dividends, but having some equity characteristics) or be quasi-equity (with floating preferred dividends and pronounced equity characteristics like super-voting rights, convertability).  \n\nIf it is the former, use the post-tax dividend yield (rather than pre- with debt because there is no tax shelter).  You can tweak the cost of preferreds up to account for the equity features.  \n\nIf it is the latter, treat it like common and then tweak it downward for the embedded preferrential features (e.g. super voting, convertable calls) and seniority over common. \n\nPreferred par will be noted in the footnotes. You don't need the underwriting costs (and will almost certainly be immaterial to your analysis).

Yes, the restricted nature of its transferability should not affect your ability to vote the shares (assuming you are holding voting securities).  If you are the actual holder the company should send the proxy to you; if its held by a broker the broker should be forwarding it to you to receive discretionary instructions.

Par, as far as I know, means at face value.   The nominal value of a share in a company is set when the company is set up; in the UK normally a share has a nominal value of one pound.   If you sell the share at par, you sell it for a pound.   If you sell it for ten pounds, that's a premium of nine plus the one.  In the company's books, your nine pounds is booked against "share premium account" and your one pound goes against ordinary shares issued

Even if this doesnt help,then assign some value to each adv and disadv. Finally ADD all values and see which is sensible.\n\nIt works. This helps u to make a wise and strong decision.\n\nIf Value of Choice 1 > Choice 2, then choice is easy to make.\n\n*** values to each item under adv and dis purely depends on how imp are those to u.\n\nAdv = give + value\nDisadv = Give  -ve value.\nGoodluck..
