	Key Term Sheet Clauses - learn about term sheets, their most important clauses and what angel investors should know on ...
		A venture capital company will often prefer this type of security for higher-risk transactions because they'd prefer to enjoy the position of a creditor until the risk is mitigated or in connection with bridge financing, whereby the venture capitalist expects to convert the debt to equity when additional capital is raised.
		To protect against dilution upon conversion of the preferred shares (or the convertible debentures), the venture capitalist may require that certain "ratchet" provisions be built into the conversion terms of the preferred shares when you amend the company's corporate charter.
		By way of example, a Series B preferred share may be convertible into common shares after the initial liquidation preference is satisfied, and then participate on an equal footing in the liquidation proceeds remaining to the common shareholders.

	Preferred Stock
		Some companies preferred may be in greater proportion to common than others, that is, one company may be capitalized at one million common and five hundred thousand preferred, while another company in the same industry may be capitalized at one million common and only two hundred and fifty thousand preferred.
		After the preferred has received $7.00 per share, and the common has received $7.00 per share, any remaining amount to be declared must be divided pro rata per share for both common and preferred.
		The investor in preferred stock usually purchases his stock, in preference to bonds, for any number of reasons, but namely, a higher yield, a preference over common, a voice in the management at times, possibly a participating dividend, and a possible conversion feature.

	preference shares Definition
		Also unlike common stock, preference shares pay a fixed dividend that does not fluctuate, although the company does not have to pay this dividend if it lacks the financial ability to do so.
		The main benefit to owning preference shares are that the investor has a greater claim on the company’s assets than common stockholders.
		Preferred shareholders always receive their dividends first and, in the event the company goes bankrupt, preferred shareholders are paid off before common stockholders.

	Racial and Ethnic Preference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		While the evidence of racial preference in admissions is strong at elite universities (those with average SAT scores in the top 20 percent), racial preference is less evident outside the elite sector.
		Even if racial preferences ended and all of these students were forced to surrender their seats (this is clearly an overstatement, since some of these students would have been admitted without racial or ethnic preferences), the college would make room for only one or two more students for each one hundred that apply.
		Preferences impose a cost on the members of nonpreferred groups, but the magnitude of these costs must be weighed against the injustice that must be endured by the victims of known discrimination who, as a practical matter, are nearly impossible to identify individually.

	NPWRC :: Common Nighthawk
		Kantrud and Kologiski (1982) found that nesting densities of common nighthawk in the northern Great Plains were highest in areas supporting arid soils, and speculated that this apparent preference may have been caused by diminished habitat availability in more intensively farmed areas.
		The preference of this species for bare or sparsely vegetated areas for nesting is well known (Gross 1940).
		Effect of Habitat Alteration: The apparent preference of common nighthawk for upland native grasslands suggests that the widespread conversion of that plant community to other uses has produced a negative impact on the species.

		Preference functions are measures of the male ornamental and display trait values that females favour [1-5].
		Reductions in responsiveness to male courtship are often associated with an increase in the importance of sneak copulations relative to courtship-choice copulations [7,9,10], and thus a reduction in the sexual selection imposed by mate choice.
		Female preference functions for male traits were estimated as the linear regression slope coefficients of female response on the male trait being evaluated (after Brooks and Endler [3]).

		Preference Criterion C should be used where the exported product is made from materials, all of which are not “wholly obtained or produced” in the territory, but all of which qualify as originating goods under the specific rule of origin that applies to their tariff classification.
		Preference Criterion B is probably the most commonly applicable preference category, at least as to any type of manufactured goods.
		Preference Criterion C is less common, but similar to Criterion B in so far as eligibility under Criterion C depends on the satisfaction of specific rules of origin and these rules are usually dependent on tariff classification.

		Since 80% of their exports to Europe already go to Common Market countries, they are openly interested in the possibilities of doing more business with the booming Six.
		Britain's distaste for the Common Market has roused old hostilities and rancors on the Continent, which has long been irritated at Britain's traditional "balance of power" policy designed to control Europe's destiny without sharing it, dabbling in its politics only to ensure that no power emerge to challenge the tight little isle.
		British leaders have been slow to recognize that the Common Market represents, beyond all economic considerations, a political reality; that, at long last, Europe's wrangling nations are drawing together in a new unity.

	RAND \| Drafts (Unrestricted) \| Income Shares and Shares of Income: Empirical Tests of Models of Household Resource ...
		Using household budget survey data from Taiwan, this paper tests an implication of the common preference model: that is, shifting the distribution of resources within the household should have no impact on household commodity demand.
		Treating household income as endogenous (or measured with error) the answer is an unambiguously affirmative and our evidence for Taiwan is consistent with empirical results reported for France (in Bourguignon, Browning, Chiappori and Lechene, 1993) and for Canada (in Browning, Bourguignon, Chiappori and Lechene, 1993).
		There is some suggestion that the common preference model may not be rejected for all sub-groups in the data and so the final section of the paper attempts to identify some of the characteristics of these households.
