Institutional Ownership Specialist

Reported positions create clear ownership percentages for indexing and regulatory checks.

The percentages use an explicit denominator: 98,176,901 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026, per the issuer's Form 10-Q. That anchors the 30.2% and 6.7% figures shown for the individuals/entities.

Footnote-style comments explain indirect holdings (trusts, fund, foundation). The filing does not state any transactions or timing; it updates beneficial-ownership reporting only.

Class B Common Stock convertible regulatory

"Represents shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock, each share of which is convertible into one share"

Beneficially owned regulatory

"Amount beneficially owned: The response to Row 9 of the cover page for each reporting person"

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.
