Preferred stock as opposed to ordinary stock is treated preferentially (hence the name) when it comes to paying out any dividends. Therefore such stock options, when exercised, can become a significant part of your remuneration, but bear in mind that in exercising these options you link your personal fortune more closely to your company than your contract of employment might specify.
Preferred stock is valued as a perpetuity
A preferred stock is a stock where a public traded company or industry owns most of the stock. Preferred stocks have a claim on capital in the event of complete liquidation.
Sometimes preferred stock is "convertible." Shareholders who own convertible preferred stock may, at a price announced when the stock is purchased, turn in their preferred stock and receive common stock in its place.
Preferred stocks are special stocks with additional features or values, and are generally given priority over 'common' stock. Preferred stocks are frequently offered by banks and financial institutions such as Capital One and Goldman Sachs.
