Total Return Swap financial
"The reference price for the Swap is $107.1282 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.
notional shares financial
"direct "holder" of the "notional" shares."
OBFR financial
"monthly interest to the counterparty on the financing leg of the Swap at a rate based on OBFR."
beneficially own regulatory
"Mr. Dart may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities but disclaims such beneficial ownership"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
