Securities Purchase Agreement financial
"Pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 11, 2026"
A securities purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms for buying or selling financial assets such as stocks or bonds. It specifies details like the price, quantity, and conditions of the transaction, similar to a shopping list with agreed-upon terms. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection when transferring ownership of these financial instruments.
privately negotiated sale financial
"for an aggregate purchase price of $4.25 million in cash, in a privately negotiated sale"
A privately negotiated sale is a transaction where a buyer and a seller agree directly on the sale of securities or assets without using a public exchange or auction. Think of it like two neighbors agreeing on a price for a car rather than selling it at a public auction: the terms, timing and price are set privately. For investors it matters because these deals can change who controls shares, affect how many shares are available to trade, and provide limited public price information compared with market trades.
aggregate purchase price financial
"at $29.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.25 million in cash"
The aggregate purchase price is the total amount a buyer pays to acquire a company, assets or securities, including the headline payment plus any assumed debt, fees, taxes and contractually required adjustments. It matters to investors because it shows the true cost of a deal and how much value must be realized after the sale — like knowing the full price of a house once you add closing costs, repairs and outstanding mortgage obligations.
Common Stock financial
"the Reporting Person sold 144,068 shares of Common Stock to the Investor"
Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
ten percent owner regulatory
