Deferred Share
A deferred share is an equity class whose dividend, voting, or liquidation rights are postponed behind another class of shares.
Deferred, guaranteed, redeemable, and paired share terms used in special equity structures.
Special Rights and Redemption Shares terms classify equity securities by ownership claim, economic right, voting power, transfer status, preference, redemption feature, and share-class design.
Use this branch when the share label changes voting control, liquidation priority, dividend priority, conversion, dilution, transferability, or investor rights.

A deferred share is an equity class whose dividend, voting, or liquidation rights are postponed behind another class of shares.
Guaranteed stock is an equity security whose dividends or other payments are supported by a guarantee from another party.
Paired shares combine two related companies' shares into a linked trading unit, usually because investors must buy and sell them together.
A redeemable share can be bought back by the issuer or redeemed under specified terms, giving the equity class debt-like exit mechanics.
