Franklin Street Properties Corp. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan financial
"The shares were issued to the reporting person pursuant to the Franklin Street Properties Corp. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan."
limited partner financial
"Mr. McGillicuddy is a limited partner of the Partnership and does not have the power to vote these shares."
A limited partner is an investor in a pooled investment vehicle—such as a private equity, venture capital, or real estate fund—who provides capital but does not take part in day‑to‑day management and whose financial responsibility is capped at the amount invested. For investors, being a limited partner matters because it defines how much control they have, how much risk they bear, and how returns are distributed; think of a limited partner as a silent co‑owner who shares in profits and losses while leaving operations to the fund managers.
beneficial ownership financial
"The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, and this report shall not be deemed an admission..."
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
irrevocable trust financial
"Shares held by McGillicuddy FLP Irrevocable Trust of 2003, the beneficiary of which is a limited partnership..."
An irrevocable trust is a legal arrangement where an owner transfers assets into a separate entity managed by a trustee and gives up the power to modify or reclaim those assets. For investors it matters because putting stock or other holdings into such a trust can change who controls and benefits from the assets, affect taxes and creditor protection, and influence how easy it is to sell or value those holdings—like placing valuables in a locked safe overseen by someone else.
Section 16 regulatory
"Beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose."
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
