Special Voting Preferred Stock financial
"Common Stock and Special Voting Preferred Stock held by CIM Group Holdings, LLC"
beneficially own regulatory
"The reporting person may be deemed to beneficially own the shares owned by"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
indirect pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his indirect pecuniary interest therein"
Section 16 regulatory
"beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose"
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
