beneficially owned financial
"The total number of shares which are beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 6,329,010 shares"
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.
Grantor Retained Annuity Trust financial
"2025 Irrevocable Two-Year Grantor Retained Annuity Trust of Aspasia F. Vahaviolos"
A grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) is an estate-planning tool where the person who creates the trust transfers assets into it but receives fixed cash payments (an annuity) from the trust for a set number of years; whatever remains after that term passes to designated beneficiaries. It matters to investors because it can shift future appreciation of assets out of the creator’s taxable estate—like putting an asset into a timed vending machine that pays you fixed amounts while any extra value that grows inside the machine goes to heirs with reduced gift or estate tax consequences.
sole voting power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 7 | Sole Voting Power 1,606,324.00"
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.
