weighted average financial

"The price is a weighted average, with the min price ($33.50) and max price ($33.99)."

A weighted average is a way of calculating an overall number when some items matter more than others by giving each item a different level of importance, or weight. Investors use weighted averages to combine figures like prices, returns or earnings so the result reflects the size or significance of each part — like grading a class where a final exam counts more than a quiz, producing a score that better represents true performance.

open market or private transaction financial

"transaction_code_description: Sale in open market or private transaction"

beneficially owned financial

"total_shares_following_transaction represents shares beneficially owned following the transaction"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
