Participating Preferred Stock

The video tutorial explains the concept of participation rights for preferred shareholders, highlighting how these rights allow shareholders to partake in asset distribution at a predefined rate. It discusses the significance of participation rights when a company raises new financing, goes public, or is acquired. The tutorial also covers liquidation preference, which gives investors a priority return on their investment before others.
