DEF

Common stock issued by a parent company that tracks the performance of a particular division without having claim on the assets of the division or the parent company.

CONT

Holders of tracking stock are considered to hold equity in the parent company and not the specific entity represented by the tracking stock. Tracking stock is often set up by companies that have several diverse divisions, both so that investors can take a share in a division of their interest, and so that the performance of these divisions can be tracked in terms of shareholder interest. A company will sometimes issue a tracking stock when it has a very successful division that it feels is underappreciated by the market and not fully reflected in the company's stock price.

OBS

tracking stock: term published in the Journal officiel by the Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie of the Government of France.

DEF

Type particulier d'action ordinaire qui confère à son titulaire le droit à un dividende fixé en fonction du résultat d'un secteur déterminé (division, filiale ou autre) de la société.

CONT

action reflet : terme publié au Journal officiel par la Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie du gouvernement de la France.
