beneficially owned financial
"The voting power of the shares beneficially owned represented 55.9% of the total"
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.
At-the-Market Offering financial
"bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for future issuances (i) upon any sale of ADSs offered at the market (At-the-Market Offering)"
An at-the-market offering is a method companies use to sell new shares of stock directly into the open market over time, rather than all at once. This allows them to raise money gradually, similar to selling small pieces of a product instead of a large batch. For investors, it means the company can access funding more flexibly, but it may also increase the supply of shares and influence the stock’s price.
Share Subscription Facility Agreement financial
"ADSs issuable pursuant to the Share Subscription Facility Agreement dated December 16, 2024"
convertible note exchange agreement financial
"convertible note issued to LMR on October 16, 2024, pursuant to a convertible note exchange agreement dated October 4, 2024"
Class D ordinary shares financial
"Newlink also owns 16,000,000 non-convertible Class D ordinary shares through Envision"
