beneficially own financial
"Together, Mr. Lai and Ms. Yu beneficially own 33,360,142 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.

"each of them is deemed to indirectly beneficially own the other's 16,680,071 shares"
Senior Vice President financial
"Ms. Yu is the issuer's Senior Vice President and a member of the issuer's Board of Directors"
A senior vice president is a high-ranking executive within a company who oversees large parts of the organization and helps shape its overall strategy. They are often just below top leadership, making important decisions that can impact the company's success. For investors, this role indicates a person with significant responsibility and influence, which can affect the company's stability and growth prospects.
