beneficially owns regulatory

"Longview beneficially owns 26,935,036 shares of Common Stock"

Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.

pecuniary interests regulatory

"The reporting person has no pecuniary interests in the shares"

Section 13(d) regulatory

"beneficially owns for Section 13(d) purposes"

A Section 13(d) filing is a public disclosure required under U.S. securities law when a person or group acquires more than 5% of a company’s registered equity and may influence control. The filer must report who owns the shares, how they were acquired, and any plans or intentions for the company, so the market and other shareholders can see if a large buyer is attempting a takeover or other strategic move. Think of it like a formal announcement that someone has crossed a threshold and is showing their hand.

Rule 13d-3 regulatory

"calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act"

Rule 13d-3 defines who is treated as the beneficial owner of a company’s shares for U.S. securities disclosure rules — essentially anyone who has the power to vote or direct how shares are voted, or the power to buy or sell them, even if they don’t hold the certificates. For investors this matters because crossing certain ownership thresholds triggers public filing and disclosure obligations and signals potential control or influence, much like having the keys to a car implies you can drive it even if it’s registered to someone else.
