Schedule 13Gregulatory
"This statement is jointly filed by the following parties, collectively, "Reporting Persons":"
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.
beneficially ownedfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: The ownership information contained in each Reporting Person's cover page"
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 dispositive powerfinancial
"7 | Sole Dispositive Power 539,355.00"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
shares outstandingmarket
"based upon 31,013,881 shares issued and outstanding as of February 2, 2026"
Shares outstanding are the total number of a company’s stock units held by all shareholders, including institutional investors and company insiders — think of them as the total number of slices of the company’s ownership pie. Investors use this number to calculate how much of the company each share represents, and it directly affects per-share measures like earnings per share, ownership percentage and valuation; when the slice count changes, an investor’s claim and the company’s per-share metrics change too.
