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.
beneficially own financial
"may be deemed to beneficially own the securities beneficially owned by SoftVest, LP."
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.
pecuniary interest financial
"Mr. Oliver disclaims any beneficial ownership ... except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
Units of Beneficial Interest financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These securities were purchased in multiple transactions."
Units of beneficial interest are pieces of ownership in a trust, fund, or pooled investment that give the holder a right to a share of the assets and income without holding the underlying property directly. Think of them as slices of a pie that entitle you to future slices of profit or distributions; investors care because these units determine how returns, risks, voting rights, and tax treatment are allocated and how easily you can buy or sell your stake.
