open market transactions financial
"The common stock was purchased by the reporting person in open market transactions on the transaction date"
Open market transactions are the buying and selling of a company’s shares or other securities conducted on public exchanges or through the wider market rather than through private deals or negotiated placements. They matter to investors because these trades change supply and demand in real time—like shoppers affecting a store’s inventory—and so can move prices, signal management or investor sentiment, affect liquidity, and alter ownership stakes that influence future returns and risk.
volume weighted average purchase price financial
"with a volume weighted average purchase price of $0.1318"
The volume weighted average purchase price is the average price an investor paid for a security, calculated by giving more weight to prices where more shares were bought—so large trades move the average more than small ones. Investors use it like a cost-basis yardstick to see whether current market prices are above or below what they effectively paid, helping judge gains, losses, and whether to sell or add to a position.
beneficially own financial
"and is deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Ault & Co."
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.
