"may be deemed to beneficially own 2,984,785 shares of the Issuer"
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.
Sole power to votefinancial
"Number of shares as to which the person has | (i) Sole power to vote"
dispositive powerfinancial
"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 2,984,785"
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.
parent holding companyfinancial
"Invesco Ltd., in its capacity as a parent holding company to its investment advisers"
Investment Company Act of 1940regulatory
"shareholders of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940"
A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.
