beneficially ownedfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: As of July 22, 2026, Otter Capital LLC was the record owner"
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.
Private Warrantsfinancial
"record owner of 1,343,477 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock and Private Warrants"
A private warrant is a contract sold directly to selected investors that gives the holder the right to buy a company’s stock at a fixed price in the future. Think of it as a coupon for shares that isn’t offered on public markets: it can provide the company with future cash if exercised but can also dilute existing shareholders by increasing the number of outstanding shares, so investors watch exercise price, expiration and transfer restrictions closely.
exercise pricefinancial
"The Private Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $10.50 per share"
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
prospectus supplementregulatory
"as reported in the Issuer's prospectus supplement filed on July 6, 2026"
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
CUSIP No.financial
"Title of class of securities: Common Stock (e) | CUSIP No.: 185064102"
redemptionfinancial
"the Issuer may redeem the Private Warrants once they become exercisable upon 30 days' advance notice"
Redemption is when an issuer or holder settles a financial instrument by paying it off or returning it for cash, such as a bond being paid at maturity or a preferred share bought back by the company. It matters to investors because redemption changes when and how they get their money back, can cut off future income from the investment, and affects the issuer’s cash needs—think of it like a loan being paid off early or a store refunding a returned purchase.
