"Companies will sometimes allow employees and investors to subscribe to both common and preferred shares of stock. Unlike stock that is sold for cash, subscription sales involve a commitment by the investor to purchase a number of shares and make periodic payments over time. Once the subscriber has made final payment, the company will issue to them the common or preferred stock.

A falta de un contexto más amplio, supongo que esta subscripción de acciones se pagaría en efectivo y a plazo. Me quedo con la opción de Patinba: "en efectivo y a plazo"
