beneficially owned financial

"for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons"

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.

shared Voting Power financial

"Shared Voting Power 4,330,345.00"

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

"Shared Dispositive Power 4,330,345.00"

margin accounts financial

"Positions in the shares of Common Stock may be held in margin accounts of the Empery Funds"

A margin account is a brokerage account that lets an investor borrow money from the broker to buy more securities than they could with cash alone, using the securities in the account as security for the loan. Think of it like a mortgage for stock purchases: borrowing increases potential gains but also magnifies losses, can trigger a forced sale if the account falls below required limits, and carries interest costs—factors investors must manage carefully.

Schedule 13D regulatory

"constitutes Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") to the filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission"

A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.

working capital financial

"The source of the funds used to acquire such shares of Common Stock was the working capital of the Empery Funds"

Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.
