Document Summary

Common shares represent the residual ownership of the entity, and the owners have a claim to the earnings and assets of the entity after the claims of the creditors and preferred shareholders have been satisfied. Preferred shares rank in claim ahead of common shares. Preferred shares have rights that must be satisfied before common shareholders" rights. These preferred rights pertain to the payment of dividends and/or to the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation. Dividends on preferred shares must be paid before dividends can be paid to common shareholders. If the corporation is liquidated, preferred shareholders" claims to assets must be satisfied before the common shareholders" claims. Therefore it"s riskier for an investor to own common shares than preferred shares because preferred shares have priority to dividends and residual claim of a liquidated company. Leverage is the use of debt to attempt to increase the return earned on the equity investment of the owners.
