4 terms

private placement financial

"purchased 8,770,524 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock from the Issuer at a price of $24.97 per share in a private placement"

A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.

beneficially owned financial

"Represents securities held by K.C. Armada, LP, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Ernesto Bertarelli"

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.

pecuniary interest financial

"Mr. Bertarelli disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"

ten percent owner regulatory
