Explanation:

Cumulative preference shares are those preference shares wherein the annual dividend must be paid. In case dividend is not paid for an year, it gets accrued and in such a scenario, no common stock dividend can be paid unless cumulative preference dividend is paid.

Participating preference shares are those preferred stock holders who apart from receiving their own dividends are eligible to participate in dividends payable to common stockholders provided the dividend rate for common stockholders is increased.

Convertible preferred stocks are those which can be converted into common stock as per a specified conversion ratio and under other conditions.

Redeemable or callable preferred stocks are those wherein the issuer company has the right to repurchase/call or redeem such preferred stocks via creation of a sinking fund for such redemption.
