4 terms

2021 Incentive Award Plan financial

"The reporting person elected to defer receipt of these shares under the terms of the 2021 Incentive Award Plan."

beneficial ownership financial

"S3 GPLP III, S3 III LLC and Mr. Smith may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares held by S3 Fund III."

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

pecuniary interest financial

"S3 GPLP III, S3 III LLC and Mr. Smith each disclaims beneficial ownership of all such shares except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein."

grant, award, or other acquisition financial
