5 terms

beneficially own financial

"Fourthstone GP LLC is the general partner of and may be deemed to beneficially own securities"

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.

shared voting power financial

"5 | Sole Voting Power 0.00 6 | Shared Voting Power 100.00"

Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.

shared dispositive power financial

"7 | Sole Dispositive Power 0.00 8 | Shared Dispositive Power 100.00"

registered investment adviser financial

"Fourthstone LLC acquired the Issuer's shares in the ordinary course of business as a registered investment adviser"

A registered investment adviser (RIA) is a firm or individual legally registered with regulators to give personalized investment advice and manage clients' money, with a duty to put clients’ interests ahead of their own. Think of an RIA as a licensed financial guide who must disclose fees, conflicts and how they are paid; that transparency and legal duty matter to investors because it reduces the risk of hidden costs or biased recommendations.

Schedule 13G regulatory

"The percentages reported in Row 11 of each cover page are based on 27,134,206 shares of Common Stock"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
