beneficial owner regulatory
"beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares held by Elysia Capital I SCSp"
A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.
sole voting and dispositive power regulatory
"has sole voting and dispositive power of the Ordinary Shares"
time-based vesting financial
"subject to time-based vesting"
Time-based vesting is a schedule that gives employees or contractors ownership of granted stock or options gradually as they remain with a company, like unlocking rewards in a loyalty program the longer you stick around. For investors, it matters because it affects future share supply, management incentives and staff retention — all of which can influence company performance and dilution of existing shareholders.
