  CashDividend:
    text: CashDividend
    description: Corporate action triggered by the distribution of a cash dividend.
  StockDividend:
    text: StockDividend
    description: Corporate action triggered by the distribution of a stock dividend.
  StockSplit:
    text: StockSplit
    description: Corporate action triggered by a stock split. A stock split or stock
      divide increases the number of shares in a public company. The price is adjusted
      such that the before and after market capitalization of the company remains
      the same and dilutiondoes not occur. The value maps closely to the ISO code
      (SPLF) defined as a distribution of subsidiary stock to the shareholders of
      the parent company without a surrender of shares.
  ReverseStockSplit:
    text: ReverseStockSplit
    description: Corporate action triggered by a reverse split. A reverse stock split
      or reverse split is a process by a company of issuing to each shareholder in
      that company a smaller number of new shares in proportion to that shareholder's
      original shares that are subsequently canceled. A reverse stock split is also
      called a stock merge. The reduction in the number of issued shares is accompanied
      by a proportional increase in the share price. The value maps closely to the
      ISO code (SPLR) defined as a decrease in a company's number of outstanding equities
      without any change in the shareholder's equity or the aggregate market value
      at the time of the split. Equity price and nominal value are increased accordingly.
  SpinOff:
    text: SpinOff
    description: Corporate action triggered by a spin Off. A spin-out, also known
      as a spin-off or a starburst, refers to a type of corporate action where a company
      splits off sections of itself as a separate business. The value maps closely
      to the ISO code (SOFF) defined as a a distribution of subsidiary stock to the
      shareholders of the parent company without a surrender of shares. Spin-off represents
      a form of divestiture usually resulting in an independent company or in an existing
      company. For example, demerger, distribution, unbundling.
  Merger:
    text: Merger
    description: Corporate action triggered by a merger. Mergers and acquisitions
      (abbreviated M&A) is an aspect of corporate strategy, corporate finance and
      management dealing with the buying, selling, dividing and combining of different
      companies and similar entities that can help an enterprise grow rapidly in its
      sector or location of origin, or a new field or new location, without creating
      a subsidiary, other child entity or using a joint venture. The distinction between
      a merger and an acquisition has become increasingly blurred in various respects
      (particularly in terms of the ultimate economic outcome), although it has not
      completely disappeared in all situations. The value maps closely to the ISO
      code (MRGR) defined as an offer made to shareholders, normally by a third party,
      requesting them to sell (tender) or exchange their equities.
  Delisting:
    text: Delisting
    description: Corporate action triggered by the removal of a security from a stock
      exchange.
  StockNameChange:
    text: StockNameChange
    description: Corporate action triggered by a change in the name used to trade
      the security.
  StockIdentifierChange:
    text: StockIdentifierChange
    description: Corporate action triggered by a change in the code used to trade
      the security.
  RightsIssue:
    text: RightsIssue
    description: Corporate action triggered by an issuance to shareholders of rights
      to purchase additional shares at a discount.
  Takeover:
    text: Takeover
    description: Corporate action triggered by a takeover. A takeover is the purchase
      of onecompany (the target) by another (the acquirer, or bidder). The value maps
      to the ISO code (TEND) but is finer grained than TEND which emcompasses Tender/Acquisition/Takeover/Purchase
      Offer/Buyback. ISO defines the TEND code as an offer made to shareholders, normally
      by a third party, requesting them to sell (tender) or exchange their equities.
  StockReclassification:
    text: StockReclassification
    description: Corporate action triggered by a Stock Reclassification.
  BonusIssue:
    text: BonusIssue
    description: Corporate action triggered by a bonus issue. A bonus issue or bonus
      share is a free share of stock given to current shareholders in a company, based
      upon the number of shares that the shareholder already owns. While the issue
      of bonus shares increases the total number of shares issued and owned, it does
      not change the value of the company. The value maps closely to the ISO code
      (BONU) defined as a bonus, scrip or capitalisation issue. Security holders receive
      additional assets free of payment from the issuer, in proportion to their holding.
  ClassAction:
    text: ClassAction
    description: Corporate action triggered by a Class Action. An action where an
      individual represents a group in a court claim. The judgment from the suit is
      for all the members of the group (class). The value maps closely to the ISO
      code (CLSA) defined as the situation where interested parties seek restitution
      for financial loss. The security holder may be offered the opportunity to join
      a class action proceeding and would need to respond with an instruction.
  EarlyRedemption:
    text: EarlyRedemption
    description: Corporate action triggered by an early redemption. The value maps
      closely to the ISO code (MCAL) defined as the redemption of an entire issue
      outstanding of securities, for example, bonds, preferred equity, funds, by the
      issuer or its agent, for example, asset manager, before final maturity.
  Liquidation:
    text: Liquidation
    description: Corporate action triggered by a liquidation. When a business or firm
      is terminated or bankrupt, its assets are sold (liquidated) and the proceeds
      pay creditors. Any leftovers are distributed to shareholders. The value maps
      closely to the ISO code (LIQU) defined as a distribution of cash, assets or
      both. Debt may be paid in order of priority based on preferred claims to assets
      specified by the security.
  BankruptcyOrInsolvency:
    text: BankruptcyOrInsolvency
    description: Corporate action triggered by bankruptcy, insolvency filing or insolvency
      of the issuer of the Security.
  IssuerNationalization:
    text: IssuerNationalization
    description: Corporate action triggered by the nationalization of the issuer of
      the Security.
  Relisting:
    text: Relisting

      described elsewhere in the document (for instance in bespoke term described
      in string type objects present in some root attributes of Agreement type).
