reverse unit split financial
"the Class A Common Units of Dutch Mafia, LLC were recapitalized through a reverse unit split"
Class A Common Units financial
"Represents Class A Common Units of Dutch Mafia, the operating company of the Issuer"
Class B Common Stock financial
"cancellation without consideration of 33,022 shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
Paired Units financial
"Certain Class A Common Units of Dutch Mafia are paired with an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock"
beneficial ownership financial
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"
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
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"
