Non-convertible, straight preferred stock is the most basic type of preferred stock. It is called “straight†preferred stock because it has a fixed dividend (often 8%) that continues to accrue if it is not paid. It also has a senior liquidation preference, meaning that the preferred shareholder receives back its invested cash plus all accumulated, unpaid dividends, before common shareholders get paid.
