3 terms

Schedule 13G/A regulatory

"Item 1. Name of issuer: ESS Tech, Inc.; form type indicated at top of excerpt"

A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.

Beneficially own financial

"Exhibit Information As of March 31, 2026, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,400,000 shares"

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.

Shared dispositive power regulatory

"Shared Dispositive Power 1,400,000.00 appears in the ownership table"
