4 terms

bareboat charter-in technical

"a global shipping company specializing in the ownership and bareboat charter-in of dry bulk vessels"

A "bareboat charter-in" is when a company rents a vessel or asset from another party without any crew or additional services included. The company then takes responsibility for operating and maintaining the asset as if it were their own. For investors, it can signal a company’s strategy to expand its fleet or assets without immediate large capital expenses, potentially affecting its financial position and future cash flows.

proxy statement regulatory

"Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and accompanying proxy statement which is available"

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.

View in glossary

annual meeting of shareholders regulatory

"will hold its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) at 8:00 a.m."

A yearly gathering where a company’s owners (shareholders) vote on key items like electing the board, approving executive pay, and ratifying auditors, and receive updates on performance and strategy. Think of it as an annual town hall for owners: it matters to investors because outcomes and disclosures can affect leadership, corporate direction, dividend and governance policies, and therefore the company’s risk and potential return.

shareholders of record regulatory

"All shareholders of record as of April 20, 2026, who wish to attend may do so"

Shareholders of record are the people officially listed as owners of a company's stock on a specific date. This matters because only these shareholders are entitled to receive dividends or vote at company meetings. It's like being on the official guest list for a party—you get to enjoy the perks and have a say.
