4 terms

weighted average price financial

""The price reported 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.

grantor retained annuity trust financial

""Such Blackstone shares are held in a grantor retained annuity trust...""

A grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) is an estate-planning tool where the person who creates the trust transfers assets into it but receives fixed cash payments (an annuity) from the trust for a set number of years; whatever remains after that term passes to designated beneficiaries. It matters to investors because it can shift future appreciation of assets out of the creator’s taxable estate—like putting an asset into a timed vending machine that pays you fixed amounts while any extra value that grows inside the machine goes to heirs with reduced gift or estate tax consequences.

pecuniary interest financial

""...except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.""

indirect ownership financial

"Ownership type marked as indirect with nature "See footnote"."
