4 terms
disposition to issuer financial
"This was a "disposition to issuer" under code D and occurred pursuant"
Investment Agreement financial
"Disposition pursuant to the Investment Agreement by and between the Reporting Person"
A written contract between an investor and a company that lays out the exact terms of an investment — how much money is provided, what the investor receives in return, and the rights and obligations of each side. It matters to investors because it sets the rules for ownership, control, payout and exit, and protections against future changes; think of it like a lease or recipe that tells everyone what to expect and how disputes or changes will be handled.
repurchase financial
"participates (in certain circumstances, automatically), on a pro rata basis, in any repurchase by the Issuer"
pro rata basis financial
"pursuant to which the Reporting Person participates (in certain circumstances, automatically), on a pro rata basis"
A "pro rata basis" means dividing or distributing something proportionally according to each person's share or interest. For example, if a group shares costs or profits, each person receives or pays a portion that reflects their contribution or ownership percentage. This method ensures fairness by allocating resources in line with individual stakes, which is important for investors to understand how gains, losses, or costs are fairly shared.
