Preferred stocks have become increasingly complex, as new security structures have been introduced into the financing mix. Whereas preferred stocks were once issued solely as equity on a corporation’s balance sheet, now preferred securities may be in fact debt instruments and pass-through securities identified by a variety of names and acronyms. Not only are preferreds issued with different balance sheet treatment for issuers, they also have various levels of subordination, various countries of origin, and, most importantly, a variety of tax consequences for both issuers and investors.
