Series G Convertible Preferred Stock financial

"Shares issuable upon the conversion of 14,171.6 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock"

A Series G convertible preferred stock is a specific class of preferred shares that gives its holders priority for dividends and claims on assets, plus the right to convert those shares into common stock under set terms. It matters to investors because it blends income and downside protection with the potential for upside — like holding a bond that can turn into stock — and conversion can dilute existing owners and change voting power and future returns.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation financial

"percentages set forth herein for each of the Reporting Persons do not give effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation"

A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.

Exchange Cap financial

"percentages set forth herein for each of the Reporting Persons do not give effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the Exchange Cap"

open market sales financial

"sold 104,454 Shares at a weighted average price of $12.01 per share, or $1,253,989.70 in the aggregate, in open market sales"

weighted average price financial

"sold 104,454 Shares at a weighted average price of $12.01 per share"

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

beneficially owns financial

"NR-SOF directly beneficially owns 10,319,347 Shares, constituting approximately 14.7% of the Shares outstanding"

Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.
