Total Return Swap financial
"The reference price for the Swap is $96.8498 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.
SOFR financial
"The Swap requires the Reporting Person to pay monthly interest ... at a rate based on SOFR."
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.
notional shares financial
"LBS Limited is the party to the reported transaction and direct "holder" of the "notional" shares."
pecuniary interest financial
"Mr. Dart may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities but disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
