weighted average price financial
"Represents the weighted average price of Common Stock sold by ALAC on April 9, 2026"
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 own regulatory
"The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock held indirectly"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
pecuniary interest regulatory
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein ... except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein"
Rule 16a-1(a) regulatory
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a) under the Exchange Act"
Section 16 regulatory
"not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is a beneficial owner for the purpose of Section 16 of the Exchange Act"
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
