"Amount beneficially owned: CastleKnight Master Fund LP - 8,995,345"
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.
shared voting powerfinancial
"Shared Voting Power 8,995,345.00"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.

control personregulatory
"Exhibit B - Control Person Identification"
A control person is an individual or entity that can significantly influence a company’s decisions and direction through ownership, voting power, or contractual rights—think of them as the captain who can steer the ship. Investors care because a control person’s choices affect corporate strategy, board appointments, and transactions that can raise or lower a stock’s value, and they often carry additional legal responsibilities and disclosure requirements to protect other shareholders.
Schedule 13Gregulatory
"this report shall not be deemed an admission ... for purposes of Section 16"
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.
