beneficially ownedfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: The shares beneficially owned and percentage of beneficial ownership reported"
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.
reverse stock splitfinancial
"reflect the effect of the 1-for-4 reverse stock split that became effective on June 30, 2026"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
dispositive powerfinancial
"Sole Dispositive Power 609,631.00 6 | Shared Dispositive Power 9,396,980.00"
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.

Class B Common Stockfinancial
"shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Gardner 2008 Living Trust dated March 22, 2008"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
