weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
pecuniary interest financial
"The Reporting Person has never had a pecuniary interest in those shares"
beneficial interest financial
"Each Common Share represents one undivided beneficial interest in Compass Diversified Holdings"
Beneficial interest is the right to receive the economic benefits of an asset—such as dividends, interest, or sale proceeds—without necessarily holding legal title to it. For investors this matters because it determines who actually gains from an investment or trust, much like renting an apartment where the tenant enjoys living there and paying bills while the landlord holds the deed; understanding who has the beneficial interest affects income rights, voting influence, and risk exposure.

Does Sawtelle still report CODI shares held by Compass Group Management LLC?

No. A footnote explains his earlier Form 3 included shares held by Compass Group Management LLC, but he has no pecuniary interest in those shares, so they are not included in this Form 4 report.

Were Sawtelle’s CODI share purchases under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?

The filing’s Rule 10b5-1 checkbox is not marked as affirmative, and the footnotes do not reference any trading plan, so the reported CODI purchases are not described as made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan.
