volume weighted average purchase price financial
"The price reported reflects the volume weighted average purchase price of $3.4733"
The volume weighted average purchase price is the average price an investor paid for a security, calculated by giving more weight to prices where more shares were bought—so large trades move the average more than small ones. Investors use it like a cost-basis yardstick to see whether current market prices are above or below what they effectively paid, helping judge gains, losses, and whether to sell or add to a position.
Durable Power of Attorney regulatory
"shares are owned directly by Charles Hughes and are reported herein solely because"
A durable power of attorney is a legal document that gives a named person the authority to manage someone else’s financial and legal affairs even if that person becomes mentally or physically unable to make decisions. For investors, it matters because the designee can access brokerage accounts, buy or sell securities, sign contracts and pay bills on behalf of the account owner, acting like a backup driver or remote control for someone’s financial life when they can’t act themselves.
attorney-in-fact regulatory
"holds voting and dispositive power over the shares as Attorney-in-Fact"
An attorney-in-fact is the person or entity given legal authority through a power of attorney to act on behalf of another for specific tasks, such as signing documents, voting shares, or handling transactions. For investors, this matters because it lets a trusted representative make timely decisions or complete paperwork when the owner cannot, much like handing keys to someone to run errands on your behalf—so checks on scope and limits of that authority are important.
beneficial ownership regulatory
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities"
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.
