Is it just that they are entitled to an additional dividend over and above the fixed percentage?

Participating preference shares
Definition (UK specific)
Preference shares which, in addition to paying a specified dividend, entitle preference shareholders to participate in receiving an additional dividend if ordinary shareholders are paid a dividend above a stated amount.
Not sure if that'll help..

Preference shares are paid in preference of other share holders, important if business goes belly up. According to Zurich's technical investment unit. I will get info on the other one in a sec.

Preference participation shares carry voting rights. Try looking at www.herts.ac.uk/business/finman/ek404.htmThe woman at work tried explaining it to me but it didn't make too much sense to me. |
