weighted average price financial

"The price reported above reflects the weighted average price."

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.

UTMA account financial

"Represents shares held by a UTMA account for the benefit of the Reporting Person's grandchildren."

pecuniary interest financial

"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."

beneficial ownership financial

"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."

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.

Section 16 regulatory

"shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16."

Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
