"Row 9 of each Reporting Person's cover page sets forth the aggregate number of shares ... beneficially owned"
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.
shared voting powerfinancial
"Row 6 ... sets forth the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of securities"
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 ... sets forth the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of securities"
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.
CUSIP Numberfinancial
"(e) | CUSIP Number(s): 05348Y105"
A CUSIP number is a nine-character code that uniquely identifies a specific U.S. or Canadian stock, bond, or other security, similar to a barcode or a social-security number for a financial instrument. It matters to investors because it removes confusion between similar securities, ensures trades and settlements are applied to the correct issue, and helps locate official documents and transaction records quickly.
general partnerfinancial
"Genesis XV is the general partner of NVP XV"
A general partner is the person or firm that runs an investment partnership and legally represents it — they make the day-to-day decisions, choose which assets to buy or sell, and are responsible for the partnership’s obligations. Investors care because the general partner’s judgment, risk-taking and fee and profit-sharing arrangements determine both the potential returns and the level of exposure to losses; think of the GP as the ship’s captain whose skill and honesty shape the voyage’s outcome.
