Total Return Swap financial
"The reference price for the Swap is $94.8515 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.
OBFR financial
"monthly interest ... at a rate based on OBFR."
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"
