"Held by charitable remainder unitrusts of which the Reporting Person is co-trustee"
weighted average financial
"The price reflects a weighted average of purchases made at prices ranging"
A weighted average is a way of calculating an overall number when some items matter more than others by giving each item a different level of importance, or weight. Investors use weighted averages to combine figures like prices, returns or earnings so the result reflects the size or significance of each part — like grading a class where a final exam counts more than a quiz, producing a score that better represents true performance.
beneficial ownership regulatory
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
