Does 'share' mean ownership of an admittedly small portion of the club that is fungible at some future point, or is the word used euphemistically?

Bret, the offer is for Non-Voting Preferred Stock that carries a 4% non-cumulative return. It can also be purchased back at the company's option provided we provide the shareholder a 6% return. I hope that answers your question.
