beneficially ownedfinancial
"Row 9 of each Reporting Person's cover page sets forth the aggregate number of securities ... beneficially owned"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
shared voting powerfinancial
"Row 6 of each Reporting Person's cover page sets forth the shared voting power"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
dispositive powerfinancial
"Row 7 of each Reporting Person's cover page sets forth the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition"
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.
percent of classfinancial
"Row 11 of each Reporting Person's cover page sets forth the percentages of the securities ... percent of class"
Percent of class is the portion of a specific category of securities—such as a company’s common shares, preferred shares, or a bond series—that takes part in or approves a corporate action (vote, consent, tender, etc.). Investors watch this number because it reveals how much support or opposition exists within that particular shareholder group; like counting how many members of a club back a proposal, it can determine whether a plan passes or how influence is distributed.
public offeringfinancial
"plus 23,871,526 shares of common stock issued in connection with a public offering that closed on May 11, 2026"
A public offering is when a company sells shares to the general public through the stock market, either by issuing new shares to raise cash or by letting existing owners sell their stakes. Think of it like a business opening its doors to many new owners at once: it can bring in money for growth but also increases the number of shares available, which can change the stock price and dilute existing ownership — key factors investors watch closely.

Do the 5AM Ventures reporting persons own more than 5% of Artiva Biotherapeutics (ARTV)?
