beneficially owned financial
"The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities identified ... beneficially owned by each Reporting Person"
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 power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: Shared Voting Power 5,366,087.00"
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.
shared dispositive power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: Shared Dispositive Power 5,374,949.00"
Schedule 13D regulatory
"If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13D to report the acquisition"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
Managed Accounts financial
"shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by the Managed Accounts"
Managed accounts are collections of investments owned by an individual or institution but run day-to-day by a professional who buys, sells and allocates assets according to an agreed plan. They matter to investors because they provide tailored oversight, active risk control and potential tax efficiency—like hiring a personal chef to manage your diet—while fees and the manager’s skill directly affect returns.
