Material Definitive Agreement regulatory
"Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement."
A material definitive agreement is a legally binding contract that creates major, long‑term obligations or rights for a company, such as loans, asset sales, mergers, or supplier deals. Think of it like a mortgage or lease for a business: it can change future cash flow, risk and control, so investors watch these agreements closely because they can materially affect a company’s value, financial health and stock price.
public benefit corporation regulatory
"Once Upon a Farm, PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”)"
A public benefit corporation is a legal type of company that pledges to pursue a specific public good—such as environmental protection, worker welfare or community development—alongside earning profits for shareholders. Like a restaurant that promises to source local ingredients while still trying to turn a profit, this structure lets managers weigh social goals against financial returns, which can influence strategy, risk profile and investor expectations about how decisions are made.
change of control financial
"In the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined by the Amended and Restated Agreement)"
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
compensatory plan or arrangement regulatory
"A management contract or compensatory plan or arrangement required to be filed as an exhibit"
