Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Sole Voting Powerfinancial
"5 | Sole Voting Power 30,320,147.63 6 | Shared Voting Power"
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.

Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Please see Exhibit 99 for 13d-1(k) (1) agreement."
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
Power of Attorneyregulatory
"Duly authorized under Power of Attorney effective as of January 3, 2023"
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows one person to make decisions and act on behalf of another person, often in financial or legal matters. It’s like giving someone a trusted helper or agent the authority to handle important tasks if you are unable to do so yourself. This matters to investors because it can impact how their assets are managed or transferred if they become unable to oversee their affairs.
