beneficial owner financial

"may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of the Issuer"

A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.

"for any other purposes than Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"

Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is a U.S. rule that requires anyone who buys more than 5% of a public company’s shares to publicly disclose who they are, how many shares they own, and their intentions toward the company. For investors, this is like a neighborhood alert when someone acquires a large stake in a building: it reveals potential changes in control or strategy that could affect the stock’s price, governance, or future direction.
