4 terms

Investment Agreement financial

"Disposition pursuant to the Investment Agreement by and between the Reporting Person and the Issuer"

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 ... on a pro rata basis, in any repurchase by the Issuer of its common shares"

A repurchase is when a company buys back its own shares from the market, like a homeowner reclaiming part of a shared property to increase their own stake. It reduces the number of shares available to other investors, which can raise the portion of future profits for remaining shareholders and often signals that management believes the stock is undervalued; it also changes how the company uses cash and can affect share price and investor returns.

pro rata basis financial

"participates (in certain circumstances, automatically), on a pro rata basis, in any repurchase"

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.
