Key Terms
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, weighted average price, beneficial ownership, family trust
4 terms
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"The sale of shares was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan entered into..."
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold..."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
beneficial ownership financial
"shares... for which the reporting person serves as trustee... but disclaims beneficial ownership"
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.
family trust financial
"These shares are held by a family trust for which the reporting person is co-trustee."
