6 terms
Beneficially Owned financial
"Aggregate amount beneficially owned by each reporting person 159,587,654.00"
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.
Sole Voting Power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 7 | Sole Voting Power 159,587,654.00"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
Sole Dispositive Power financial
"9 | Sole Dispositive Power 159,587,654.00 10 | Shared Dispositive Power 0.00"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
Series B Preferred Stock financial
"appointed to the Board by CCM Denali Equity pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock"
Series B preferred stock is a type of ownership share issued by a company that offers certain advantages over common stock, such as priority in receiving dividends or assets if the company is sold or liquidated. It is typically issued after an initial round of funding, making it a way for investors to support a company's growth while gaining some protections and benefits. This stock matters to investors because it often provides a more secure investment position with potential for future growth.
Class III director regulatory
"on July 8, 2026, Nathaniel Fick resigned as a Class III director on the Board"
A Class III director is a board member placed in one of the numbered groups used by companies with a staggered (or “classified”) board; that director’s seat typically comes up for election in the third year of a three-year rotation. For investors this matters because staggered terms create continuity but also make it harder to replace the whole board quickly, affecting shareholder influence, takeover dynamics and how fast new strategy or accountability can be implemented — like replacing only some players on a sports team each season instead of the whole roster at once.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regulatory
"Mr. Fick will continue to serve on the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee."
A nominating and corporate governance committee is a group within a company's board of directors responsible for selecting and recommending individuals to serve as company leaders, such as directors or executives. They also develop and oversee policies to ensure the company is run fairly, ethically, and transparently. This committee matters to investors because it helps ensure the company is well-managed and guided by qualified, responsible leadership.
