beneficially owns financial

"The Company beneficially owns 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 9.53% of the Common Stock outstanding"

Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.

Schedule 13D regulatory

"This Amendment No. 9 supplements and amends the statement on initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission"

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.

Amendment No. 9 regulatory

"This Amendment No. 9 corrects an inadvertent administrative error in the calculation of the number of shares"

Rule 13d-3 regulatory

"as calculated under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended"

Rule 13d-3 defines who is treated as the beneficial owner of a company’s shares for U.S. securities disclosure rules — essentially anyone who has the power to vote or direct how shares are voted, or the power to buy or sell them, even if they don’t hold the certificates. For investors this matters because crossing certain ownership thresholds triggers public filing and disclosure obligations and signals potential control or influence, much like having the keys to a car implies you can drive it even if it’s registered to someone else.
