4 terms

beneficial ownership financial

"The Reporting Person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities held by the non-minor child."

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

weighted average price financial

"This price reflects the weighted average price for open-market sales of Shares on May 12, 2026 within a $1.00 range."

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.

open-market sales financial

"This price reflects the weighted average price for open-market sales of Shares on May 12, 2026 within a $1.00 range."

Open-market sales are when a shareholder or a company sells shares directly on the public stock market rather than through a private deal. Investors care because these sales increase the number of shares available for purchase—like several homeowners putting houses for sale at once—which can lower the stock price, change liquidity, and signal how confident large holders are about the company’s prospects.

indirect ownership financial

"These shares are held by the non-minor child of the Reporting Person."
