beneficially owned financial

"Amount beneficially owned: 2,628,921"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

sole power to vote financial

"Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 2,449,914"

shared power to vote financial

"Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 2,545"

dispositive power financial

"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 2,624,706"

Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.

"If a parent holding company has filed this schedule, pursuant to (ii)(G)"

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary ... on this schedule"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
