beneficially owned regulatory

"Amount beneficially owned: D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P.: 392,351 shares"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

shared dispositive power regulatory

"Shared Dispositive Power 392,351.00"

Joint Filing Agreement legal

"Exhibit 3: Joint Filing Agreement, by and among the Reporting Persons"

power of attorney legal

"Exhibit 1: Power of Attorney, granted by David E. Shaw"

A power of attorney is a legal document that allows one person to make decisions and act on behalf of another person, often in financial or legal matters. It’s like giving someone a trusted helper or agent the authority to handle important tasks if you are unable to do so yourself. This matters to investors because it can impact how their assets are managed or transferred if they become unable to oversee their affairs.
