beneficially owned financial
"As of August 14, 2026, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 7,225,037 Class A 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.
Rule 13d-3 regulatory
"representing approximately 7.3% of the outstanding Class A Shares, as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3"
Rule 13d-3 defines who is treated as the beneficial owner of a company’s shares for U.S. securities disclosure rules — essentially anyone who has the power to vote or direct how shares are voted, or the power to buy or sell them, even if they don’t hold the certificates. For investors this matters because crossing certain ownership thresholds triggers public filing and disclosure obligations and signals potential control or influence, much like having the keys to a car implies you can drive it even if it’s registered to someone else.
initial public offering financial
"outstanding immediately after completion of the Issuer's initial public offering"
An initial public offering (IPO) is when a private company first sells its shares to the public and becomes a stock-listed company. It matters because it allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors, helping it grow, while giving early shareholders a way to sell some of their ownership.
CUSIP Number financial
"CUSIP Number(s): 15675D103"
A CUSIP number is a nine-character code that uniquely identifies a specific U.S. or Canadian stock, bond, or other security, similar to a barcode or a social-security number for a financial instrument. It matters to investors because it removes confusion between similar securities, ensures trades and settlements are applied to the correct issue, and helps locate official documents and transaction records quickly.
