Yes
Corporations issue stock and are owned via stock. An LLC does not issue stock. Like partnerships, an Limited Liability Company is simply owned by the members and/or the managers of the company.
Corporations issue callable preferred stock to have the flexibility to redeem or "call back" the stock at a predetermined price, allowing them to adjust their capital structure and potentially lower their financing costs in the future.
Stockholder security
All corporations are owned by stockholders. Every corporation is required to issue stock.
Corporations issue shares of stock, and would have "stock holders" or "share holders". LLCs are not corporations and do not issue stock. LLCs have member and would issue "certificates of membership" or "certificates of beneficial interest". Any reference to shareholders or stockholders in an LLC would be either from a confused individual or an attempt to confuse others.
