open-market sale financial
"transaction_action is described as an open-market sale of ordinary shares"
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
weighted average price financial
"The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
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
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership over the securities reported"
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
"except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any."
New Taiwan Dollars financial
"New Taiwan Dollars."
The New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) is the official currency used in Taiwan for everyday transactions, like buying groceries or paying bills. For investors, it matters because its value can influence Taiwan’s economy and affect the profitability of investments related to the region. Changes in the currency’s strength can also impact international trade and financial markets involving Taiwan.
