Total Return Swap financial
"The reference price for the Swap is $101.9655 per share."
A total return swap is a private contract where one party pays the full economic performance of an asset (income plus price changes) to another party, while receiving a set payment such as a fixed rate or short-term interest in return. It matters to investors because it lets someone gain or shed exposure to an asset’s gains or losses without owning it, offering a way to borrow, hedge, or take leveraged positions while relying on the other party to make payments.
reference price financial
"The reference price for the Swap is $101.9655 per share."
cash-settled financial
"The Swap is scheduled to terminate on March 2, 2028, at which time the Swap will be cash-settled."
Cash-settled describes a financial contract that is resolved by paying the monetary difference between agreed and actual prices, instead of delivering the underlying asset. For investors, it matters because it simplifies trades—like settling a bet with cash rather than handing over the item—and affects liquidity, tax treatment, and counterparty exposure, since you receive or pay only the value change rather than owning or transferring the actual security or commodity.
OBFR financial
"The Swap requires the Reporting Person to pay monthly interest ... at a rate based on OBFR."

pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
