Best-price rule (Rule 14D-10) is a regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that stipulates that consideration offered to any security holder in a tender offer must be equal to the highest consideration paid to any other security holder. The Best-price rule (Rule 14D-10), as originally written, required fine-tuning, as disputes arose over how to treat certain employment compensation, severance and other employee benefit agreements in a situation of change of control that a completed tender offer created. If some high-level employees who held securities were to receive additional monies in a tender offer, would all other security holders be entitled to receive the same amount? The best-price rule is meant to provide equal treatment to all holders of securities in a tender offer.

Mid-cap stocks provide investors with a steady stream of growth. The formula for weighting each company in the index is calculated by taking the market cap for the individual company and dividing it by the total of all 400 company market caps in the index. This is for investors who want to diversify their portfolios because market-cap weighted index funds expose investors to the movements of a small group of stocks, despite the broad name of the index itself. The index is the most widely followed mid-cap index so there are several funds designed to track the performance of this index.

Invesco S&P SmallCap Value with Momentum ETF

The S&P 600 is an index of small-cap stocks managed by Standard and Poor's. Small-cap stocks are not as closely followed by professional analysts, allowing investors to “get in” on these companies while they’re flying under Wall Street’s radar.
Small-cap stocks have different characteristics than mid-cap and large-cap stocks, giving small-cap stocks significant diversification benefits.
Limitations to investing in the S&P 600 include volatility risk, business risk, liquidity risk, and a lack of analyst coverage. Market capitalization for inclusion in the S&P 600 small-cap index must fall between $700 million and $3.2 billion to ensure individual assets do not overlap with the larger S&P 500 or mid-cap S&P 400 indexes. Since the long-term future of small firms is hard to predict, small-cap stocks tend to swing more wildly than large-cap stocks. Since small firms don’t attract as much interest as large companies, small-cap stocks are less liquid than large caps.

Yankee market is a slang term for the stock market in the United States.

Reverse Yankee Bonds Set Record Pace as Europe Outbids U.S.

"Yankee market" is a slang term for the stock market in the United States. In 2017, The _Financial Times_ reported on the reverse Yankee market as it detailed General Electric (GE) selling an €8 billion bond and gathering €22 billion of orders, a deal the _Financial Times_ calls “one of the largest ever deals in the single currency, showing the depth of demand for long-dated issuance from U.S. borrowers.”
The article describes so-called reverse Yankee deals becoming increasingly popular, illustrated by large American issuers like Pfizer and Coca-Cola raising multibillion-euro deals. The GE sale beat that as “the fourth-largest euro corporate bond sale ever,” and arguably worked to strengthen future interest in reverse Yankee deals by major U.S. businesses.
Allergan and Baxter International, the Financial Times reported, were examples of two companies that announced investor meetings in Europe ahead of planned bond sales in 2017.
Bloomberg reported that U.S. companies in 2017 borrowed 57 billion euros in Europe, compared with 42 billion euros in that same period of 2016. A reverse Yankee market and reverse Yankee bond refer to U.S. companies participating in the Euro bond market.
