Stock Option financial
"This option represents a right to purchase 11,050 of the Issuer's ordinary shares"
A stock option is a contract that gives you the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. People use them to potentially make money if the stock's price moves favorably or to protect against losses. It's like holding a coupon that can be used to buy or sell stock at a set price later on.
beneficial ownership financial
"Fairmount, Mr. Harwin, and Mr. Kiselak disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported 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.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein"
investment manager financial
"Fairmount Funds Management LLC ("Fairmount") is the investment manager for Fairmount Healthcare Fund II LP"
