beneficially own financial

"As of July 22, 2026, BWG may be deemed to beneficially own 5,447,578 Common Shares"

Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.

sole dispositive power financial

"BWG has sole voting power and sole dispositive power over 5,447,578 Common Shares"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

open market transactions financial

"All of the Common Shares were sold in open market transactions through a broker"

Open market transactions are the buying and selling of a company’s shares or other securities conducted on public exchanges or through the wider market rather than through private deals or negotiated placements. They matter to investors because these trades change supply and demand in real time—like shoppers affecting a store’s inventory—and so can move prices, signal management or investor sentiment, affect liquidity, and alter ownership stakes that influence future returns and risk.

weighted average sale price financial

"Reflects the weighted average sale price per Common Share sold in multiple transactions"
