beneficially owned financial
"The aggregate amount beneficially owned by each reporting person 3,271,862.00"
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 Voting Power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 7 | Sole Voting Power 3,271,862.00"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
Sole Dispositive Power financial
"9 | Sole Dispositive Power 3,271,862.00 10 | Shared Dispositive Power 0.00"
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.
Schedule 13D regulatory
"If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
weighted average price financial
"On March 18, 2026, ALAC sold 4,819 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average price of $5.3782 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.
brokerage commissions financial
"for an aggregate price of $3,307,215, net of brokerage commissions, as follows:"
Brokerage commissions are fees charged by a broker for executing buy or sell orders of stocks, bonds, or other securities on an investor’s behalf. Think of them as a service or ticket fee paid each time you use a broker to make a trade; they reduce your net returns and can influence how often you trade, so investors weigh their size and structure when deciding where and how actively to invest.
