"The Price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
Class B common stock financial
"All shares of Class B common stock, $1.00 par value convertible share-for-share into common stock"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
