I prefer *loan* to *advance*.
Safe to assume "BS" stands for the company's initials?

Bear Stearns shareholder advance


Explanation:
This might be a long shot, but searching "action" and "BS" brings this up as a possibility

"You have to look no farther than the BS that is Bear Stearns to understand the corruption and rot that is at the core of the “neo-liberal” policies that have guided the economy since Ronald Reagan took office in 1980."

"Revenons tout d’abord sur l’événement majeur de ces derniers mois à savoir le « sauvetage » proprement incroyable de la banque d’affaire Bear Stearns (BS) par la Fed."

However Bear Sterns has been defunct since 2008 so I don't know whether this could fit your context.

Asker: Ah! I figured it (I think). BS could very well be the initials of the parent company of the buyer company!
