beneficially owns regulatory

"Longview beneficially owns 24,388,917 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.

sole voting power regulatory

"Sole Voting Power 24,388,917.00"

Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.

sole dispositive power regulatory

"Sole Dispositive Power 24,388,917.00"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

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.
