pro rata financial
"All shares owned by Seraphim Partners LLC were distributed pro rata"
Pro rata means dividing or distributing something proportionally based on a specific factor, such as ownership or contribution. For example, if an investor owns 10% of a company, they would receive 10% of any dividends or benefits allocated. This approach ensures everyone gets their fair share relative to their stake or input, helping investors understand how benefits, costs, or responsibilities are fairly shared.
